What a lovely day...time spent outside today was enjoyed :)
We had a busy day! This morning we started by doing a step by step drawing of a bird we can find in Canada..ask me what it was. In music, Mrs. H-McD gave us a fun name game to play.
After music we did a few math activities. We practiced some skip counting and did a story problem. All of the grade 2 classes have new pencil holders made out of wood; the pencils fit into holes that have been drilled. Our story problem had us figure out how many holes were drilled for the pencil holders in our class and then we solved how many holes would have been drilled if there were 5 holes in each holder instead of 4. There were some creative responses to the equations. Ask us how we solved the problems.
In Social Studies we continued learning about Canada...thank you to those who sent in your facts already :)
We started locating some of the provinces and colouring them in on our own Canada map.
We ended our day with Cosmic Yoga and buddy reading...we will be tired tonight ;)
*Scholastic book order forms went home today...they will be due back Monday, Sept. 19.
*Parent-Teacher Conferences will be on Thurs. Sept. 22 (4pm-8pm) and Fri. Sept. 23 (8am-1pm) Please book through your MYCBEACCOUNT.
Have a wonderful evening :)
