April was an incredible month for Grade 2! The students enjoyed another session of Skype Inspires Literacy where they learned a cool math trick using cookies! The class also had a very exciting beginning to their Unit 4 inquiry. They arrived at school to find that their Mindful Hearts ESLR Train Cars were missing! In their place were several coded clues. The students had to work together to crack the code, and then decode the clues. After lunch, the students had to use their map-reading skills to follow a path around the QISS campus. With a combination of the map and the clues, the students were able to track down their missing Train Cars! It was a terrific day of fun and cooperation for the class.
The students also celebrated Wear Your Pajamas to Work Day in April, which was an awesome way for everyone to have fun together. Grade 2 had some very cool pajamas! Last but not least, the QISS Talent Show was held in April as well. Min Xuan and Yurim both performed in front of the entire school! They showed excellent courage, and they did an outstanding job with their performances. Min Xuan's piano piece was beautiful, and Yurim's dance with her sister was so cool! The Talent Show featured performances from every grade level in the school. QISS is truly a talented school! Click here to see more pictures from the Talent Show on the QISS home page.
