Dear Families,
Today we started back this Monday in our usual way. In literacy some of us started book clubs for the first time. Ask me what my jobs were for today. Next we had snack and story. After we played pioneer recess games we came back in and started work on a Stampede School writing job. We are making a book and movie about our experiences. In the afternoon we came back in and did DEAR. Then we had gym all together. Then we did a music and science flip flop. In science we tested out our sailboat designs. The challenge was to "don't get your sails wet" by making a boat that floats upright. We had several successful designs, some with a double hull, and one with a single hull and one with a quad hull. We found that all the designs that floated upright were very balanced. At the end of the day we had a chance to write up what we discovered about our designs and what we might change for next time.
Important Reminders:
Wednesday is Hats off for Mental Health Day. Students are allowed to wear hats to school that day if they choose.
It is getting sunny again ad we spend a lot of time outside. You may want to start applying sunscreen and sending a hat for your child to wear at recess.
Love the Grade Twos
