Europe is the Best Continent

Europe is the best continent in the world.  Well, that’s a matter of opinion.  This week Grade 2 learned to differentiate between opinions and facts, in their quest to learn more about Europe.  The class then looked through various non-fiction books to find fun facts about the continent.  Those facts were then transformed into questions for a quiz show component of our upcoming assembly, called “Are You Smarter than a Second Grader?”  The class is very excited.

 

 

 

 

We will also be sharing a rap song about Europe and the other world continents.  Below is a link to the video.  Please feel free to practice at home.

Postcards from Europe

This week Grade 2 reflected on their own travels through the continent of Europe and wrote postcards from some of the cities they had visited.  From London to Amsterdam to Rome, the class has certainly seen a lot for their young age!  This activity also provided the perfect opportunity to do some Language work, specifically practicing writing statements and questions with proper punctuation.  The finished results will be read and shown at our upcoming assembly.
