Hello Grade 2 families

We have recently added to the LINKS section of our website. If you go into Links you will find a New section: English Language Learners. Mrs. Leboe & Mrs. Wallstrom had asked that we add this to our website. They have provided great resources for literacy for all of our Grade 2 students.

I especially liked finding one of my favourite books had been newly added to the StoryLine website: Snappsy the Alligator (Did Not Ask to Be in This Book). In the Teacher Guide I liked finding out more information about the story: Snappsy the alligator is having a normal day when a pesky narrator steps in to spice up the story. I especially appreciated that the story’s themes were listed: Storytelling, perspective, friendship, creative differences.
It made me think of the story Once Upon a Motorcycle Dude (click here to hear it on YouTube).

Another great story on Storyline is Stellaluna.
