Dear Families,
We started our day in the gym...ask me what we did. After gym we did our Smartboard calendar...we are recording the weather each day in 3 different Canadian cities: Calgary, Iqaluit and Halifax. It is interesting to see who has the warmest temperature each day. We also did some mental math: we chose a number and then added 10 to it, subtracted 10 from it, added 1 and subtracted 1...we are getting faster :)
In writing we continued our Halloween stories, writing and then editing them. We have been working really hard on them!
In Math we added 2 and 3 digit numbers. We used base 10 blocks (hundreds, tens and ones) to show our numbers and then added them up.
After lunch we discussed the characteristics of water...ask me what two of them are. We also finished our Cosmic Kids Frozen yoga from last time and began a Northern Alphabet book illustrated by Ted Harrison. We began by talking about the similarities we noticed between Ted Harrison's art and Norval Morrisseau's. We are very observant :)
Reminders:
~ Picture re-takes will be on Monday, November 7 (please let me know if your child will be having a re-take done)
~ Our day to switch books at the learning commons will be Friday. If your child would like to take out new books, please ensure they have brought back their other ones by Friday.
Have a lovely evening!
Love,
The Grade 2's
