Sharing Our Ideas


Grade 2 students have been taking their learning one step further by using Canva to share their research about different types of relationships. After investigating what relationships are, who is involved, and how they are built and maintained, students transformed their research into creative presentations.
Working independently or with a partner, students designed either a poster or a book that would help others understand their chosen type of relationship. They carefully selected information, organized their ideas, and made thoughtful design choices so that their work would be clear, engaging, and easy for others to read and understand.
As students explored relationships, they began to recognize that they are connected to many different people and communities. Understanding these connections helped them see that they are part of something bigger than themselves. Their relationships influence how they think, feel, communicate, and respond to the people and world around them.
This inquiry is an important first step in developing self-awareness and a sense of belonging. By reflecting on their relationships, students are beginning to understand themselves more deeply and recognize the role they play in the lives of others.
Through this experience, our young learners are discovering that relationships connect us, communication helps us understand one another, and caring for these connections helps our communities grow.
In connection to Literacy, the students are beginning to write creative stories featuring characters who explore and explain their chosen types of relationships. Through their stories, they are applying what they have learned while developing their creativity and writing skills.

This creative story will be the first of many books that Grade 2 will publish throughout the school year, beginning their journey as young authors and storytellers
