What’s going on in Mr. Pagacz’s Classroom!

Amazing Race
Mr. Pagacz’s grade two students love a challenge. In May the students took part in amazing race. They had to run all over the school yard looking for the clues. As part of the magnets unit, they needed to use a compass to help them in their journey. It was very exciting to see them work as a team to reach the finish line!
Science and Space
The students have discovered many books in the library that deal with space exploration. So one day they all decided to explore space on the iPad. They love reading facts about space and all the different planets we have in our solar system, and using technology is a great way to get engaged.




Young Authors
In the month of June the students experience “author month.” They learn to become little authors and write short stories with pictures depicting their story! The students LOVE Science Fiction, so all their stories have a unique scientific, action packed endings!

Cup Stackers!!!
Mr. Pagacz’s grade two’s took part in crazy fast speed stacking challenges. They first learned how to stack and unstack them, and memorized a specific 3-3-3 and 3-6-3 pattern. Once they learned those tricky patterns, they had to work together to get the fastest time. They also enjoyed competing against one another to see who was the fastest speed stacker! This challenge was a blast!
