Happy Earth Day Everyone!
Please take some time today to care for our planet! The Grade Twos practiced how they care for their planet today by working together and reflecting on how we "Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle".
This morning we gathered together and worked on some very challenging spelling exercises. The students communicated with one another on potential solutions and the inquiring of outcomes.
After Spelling we went to work on our math activity of the day by gaining greater understanding and becoming knowledgable about how space transfers to perimeter. This was accomplished in the activity of using 5 snap cubes and representing them on grid paper. The students will also begin their "Measurement Maze" assignment tomorrow! They are super excited about this hands-on learning experience.
We continued our "Freckle Juice" novel study this morning by discussing Chapter 5 and reviewing the task in Chapter. The students are taking risks when answering their comprehension questions by providing insightful answers fuelled by their own knowledge and creative ideas.
Following lunch the class continued their work on their "Courage" posters in visual arts combining Values and Visual Arts. Once the completed their posters the students became wonderfully engaged in an "Earth Day" lesson on how we can care on a deeper level for the needs of our planet.
The day concluded with our unit on "Fitness Goals" in Physical Education.
