Today was my official "last Monday" as a grade 2 teacher. I have 3 days left and am very sad to be leaving such amazing students! Today was a super fun day though! We began the morning in the library reading a wonderful story and then looking for some new books to check out. The students were then off to the mass choir.
After snack we learned about the differences between centimetres and meters. The students did an activity in which they had to decide what the best unit was to measure different items - such as the school playground or their wrist. The students then worked independently on a task that had them measuring different lines using different tools. The students did a fabulous job! We then moved into social studies and the students continued their research on their country and many groups began comparing their country to Nunavut using a venn diagram. The students are working so well in their country groups, it is amazing to watch and learn with them.
The students then had lunch and an indoor break where they finished watching the Charlie and the Chocolate movie. The students were then introduced into my paragraph about "Toast" and had to use our success criteria and bump it up wall to bump up my paragraph. The students have become so familiar with what a paragraph is, how it is written, and what is needed. All of the students were able to identify how to bump up my paragraph - I am looking forward to reading their paragraphs very soon. For the last period of the day some of the students joined their guided reading groups while others silently read in class.
There are NO spelling words for this week :)
