Today was a terrific day in grade 2! We were very busy today and there was a lot happening in our classroom as Ms. Fink and Miss Clarke had a PD session this afternoon at school but they were not in class - the students enjoyed their afternoon with the supply teacher and even started watching Charlie and the Chocolate Factory!
This morning began with our Morning Smile that had a word search that the students really enjoyed! We then began brainstorming ideas for our Flat Stanley letters and wrote our very first paragraph - all about being Flat! After snack the students and I began some problem solving in money and making different coin combinations with restrictions (example, what 8 coins can you use to make 90 cents). The students put on their thinking caps and came up with some amazing ideas!
Miss Clarke and Ms. Fink then attended their PD session and the students spent a period exploring Canada and the map of Canada. The students played a "where's Waldo" with the Map of Canada and explored many different provinces, cities, and water bodies. The students then had gym class and finished the day with the movie!
Just a reminder - the mathtastic duotangs were sent home last night and need to be back when the students have completed their homework. Also, the students are beginning their mapping unit in social studies and a letter was sent home about all the places you and your family have travelled. Please check it out and send back your family's information by MONDAY :)
Looking forward to a fabulous Friday and doing our bunny baskets!
