!Happy Snowy Weather (Will it ever be spring?)
Today we started our day with some word work and then we went to the Music room to participate in a dance workshop. We will be dancing everyday for the next two weeks.
We have two groups for word work (so our teachers can work with smaller groups).
Mr. Knitters words are:
her, what, school. went, number, every, friends, dollars, they, grass
Mrs. Goodall words are:
see, where, three, two, yellow, you, we
After recess, we started our new Math unit on place value. We talked about the different ways we can represent a number: using numbers, with pictures, or with words. We did really well with numbers (e.g. 6+7 =13) and pictures (using tallies or base-ten blocks) but struggled to use words (e.g. 13=thirteen).
Next, we continued to work on our new unit in Science. Magnetism! We worked in groups to discover things that are magnetic in our classroom. It was lots of fun!
Finally, we worked on letter N in our ABC's of Acadia book. N stands for Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. Where the Acadians lived is now the Eastern part of Canada.
Reminders:
We will exchange our reading books tomorrow (these are not the library books).
Our teachers handed out new book orders. They are due Friday.
We sent our letters home on Friday. Please write back when you have a chance.
Beach day Thursday!!! Wear your summer clothes, hats and sunglasses!!! Don't forget to bring a towel!
Love,
The Grade Twos
