Wonderful Wednesday!

The Grade 2's were very busy today!  We began the morning with our morning smile with our "silly sentences". The students really enjoyed the activity and had a lot of fun making different combinations of sentences.  The students then joined me on the carpet for a chapter of Flat Stanley.  We then did a mini-lesson on writing answers to inferences and including a connection - the students could connect using their schema (personal experience), research (watching TV or reading a book), or the text.  The students then go to be text detectives and explore different situations and infer what was happening.  The students really enjoyed being detectives as all of the situations involved students in our class!

After snack we finished our grocery shopping in math!  The students continued to look through the flyers and search for items that were 99 cents or less!  We "bought" lots of yummy food and had fun doing math!

The students then had their lunch break and then went to gym!  For the last period of the day we had reading buddies with our friends in Grade 5.  The students love this time as they get to be with older students and engage in their favourite activity, reading some amazing books!

The students "mathtastic" duotangs were sent home tonight with a money page!  It is simple word problems that will have students making change - please remind them to double check their work and always have the cents sign in their work :)
