My Math Path [Grade 2]

My Math Path 1–8 is fully aligned to the new 2020 Ontario math curriculum and is powered by the Singapore Math framework. This framework focuses on mastery of a limited number of concepts at a time using a purposeful sequence of topics. The resource places problem solving at the heart of mathematical learning and emphasizes the need for students to develop positive attitudes towards math, have the confidence to persevere, and develop the ability to monitor their own thinking.

LeaderinMe [Grade 2]

This leadership model assists them in integrating a culture of character and leadership into our school experience with students, staff, faculty and parents based on the principles of the late Dr. Stephen R. Covey’s “7 Habits of Highly Effective People.” The Leader in Me brings the “7 Habits” into the elementary and Junior High school setting where students can begin to develop these very important skills at a very early age.
