Gr. 2/3 Update

HERE'S an UPDATE:

In language we are continuing to work on answering reading comprehension questions using the APE strategy as well as writing a descriptive paragraph.  

We've moved onto new science units. 

Grade 3 - Structures and Gr. 2 - Air & Water in the Environment. 

We have a field trip planned in June. More information to come in the next few weeks.
