Science is fun!!

Grade 2's,

in science class today we focused on the properties of liquids and solids. I really enjoyed teaching you the introductory lesson but felt that I could give you an even better example of this topic through our classroom blog. This website, scholastic, will give you a greater idea of what a liquid and solid is and how both these states are able to change in different ways. Please click on the link that I have provided above and watch the video on solids and liquids. In addition to the video, there is a song that you may listen to that discusses these properties as well!!

**ALWAYS REMEMBER, SCIENCE IS FUN**

Parents, the expectation for this lesson is for the children to identify conditions in which the states of liquids and solids remain constant (e.g. solids remain solid when broken; liquids remain liquid when poured) and conditions that can cause their states to change (e.g., liquids may freeze when the temperature drops; solids may melt when heated).

Enjoy,

Ms. Lazarovic :)

Long weekend :)

Students,

I hope you have all been enjoying visiting our classroom blog! After the March break, we have had a busy few weeks at school and now it's time to once again relax and spend some quality time with our families over this long weekend. As you can see, a new addition to our classroom blog are some fun educational links for you to explore over this short break. You can find these links on the right hand side where it says 'Fun educational links for students'. I hope you enjoy these exciting websites as much as I do! Have a wonderful weekend and happy Passover and Easter to all of you who are celebrating!
Sincerely,
Ms. Lazarovic

Welcome to Ms. L's interactive space!

Dear parents and grade 2 students,

Welcome to our interactive space! Here we will be able to get further familiarized with the new ways of technology and we will be able to share important ideas with each other. If you are a little bit nervous about using our classroom blog, I know how you feel!!! I am a little bit nervous too. We will all work together as a team to make sure that everyone feels comfortable and that we all understand how the interactive space works!
This blog gives me the opportunity to post educational sites, links or activities that I believe we may all find interesting and exciting.
Parents, on the right hand side underneath the "EDUCATIONAL LINKS FOR PARENTS" section you will find 5 links that can assist you with your child's homework as well as other educational aspects that you may find difficulty in dealing with.
Students, I will be sure to post some fascinating and educational links for you as well in the following weeks to come.
If anyone would like to add a suggestion or comment about our classroom blog, please feel free to do so. I too am an ongoing learner and believe that there is always room for improvement!
