Ms. M's Favourite Websites

Hello Grade 2's, 

These are but a few of my favourite websites that I use on a regular basis. Check them out!!

1. Pinterest
    I use this sight for inspiration. I love to do crafts and scapbooking. This site gives me some great ideas. I also use this site to come up with activities to do in our classroom. Use it as your inspiration by typing anything
in the search engine. Do you love Disney? Type in the word
and you will find many creative things you can make and do.

2. Google
    I use this search tool to find out anything I need to know. For example researching topics or quickly finding
information. Use the search bar to search anything you like. Do you have a favourite book? Type in the book to see what other books the author of your favourite story has written.

3. IMDb
    I use this website to look up information about movies. I love to watch movies and television shows. This is a very
informative website about actors and actresses that you may be interested in.



Online Resource


Hello Grade 2's,


I have come across a very great resource that is fun and exciting!! It is called Kerpoof. Sounds like magic. Well...it kind of is. 

Here you can create a drawing, a painting, make a movie, and more! As you create, you can earn coins that will allow you to "buy" new, fantastic art supplies (like a pen that draws glittering stars,) new backgrounds and fun things for your characters.

There is also a great activity where you could create a scene with words and put it together to tell a story. Try it out!

My name is Ms. Marchiolli (or Ms. M) and I am very excited to be teaching grade 2! I hope the next 7 weeks will be as exciting for you as it will be for me. For the next 7 weeks I have planned very fun and engaging activities that will contribute to student problem solving skills. This blog will hopefully help students and parents to easily access and navigate resources as well as be able to connect classroom activities with home activities.

I look forward to having a fun and engaging time!

Ms. M
