This week has been a busy one as we finish our letter writing unit. The students have enjoyed writing letters.
This week has also exposed the students to division for the first time. They are coming along nicely after they exceeded all expectations in multiplication unit.
Tomorrow they will have an opportunity to attend the Mother's day vendor fair. All the gifts are priced under $10.
Happy Mother's day to all the moms out there. I hope your weekend is a special and relaxing one.
This week we have been working hard on our times tables. It's been remarkable watching the students soak it all in.
In language we've been learning about writing letters. The students have written to their favourite fairy tale characters. They should soon be blogged for all to read on Kidblog.org
We have also learned how to put words into alphabetical order. We will be using dictionaries to help with our spelling from now on.
Congratulations to Hailee and Gavin for winning this month's class awards. Keep up the good work!
Today was a good day. The students worked very hard using contractions.
In math, we began to learn about multiplication. They are so excited to use their flashcards that they made this afternoon.
Have a great evening.
Just a reminder, pizza orders are due Monday.
Mr. M
Today we got back into the swing of things. The students were eager to share their weekend experiences with each other. We should see them on the blog tomorrow.
Please be advised that the dental screeners were in today to see the grade 2's and an envelope went home with each one.
Please ask your child for their pizza order forms which also went home tonight. They are due back no later than Monday morning. The following picture is the pizza order in case yours was lost/destroyed.
Have a great night!
Today we wrote letters to the Easter Bunny. The students are trying to be very careful to use capital letters when they are required. We are also focused on using the proper punctuation for every sentence. You will be able to find these letters on Kidblog.org once they are edited and published tomorrow.
We began to learn about mass today. The boys and girls had a great discussion about the factors that effect the mass of an object. We went through a demonstration where the students had to predict what object would have a greater mass.
Here are a few shots of the students hard at work.
Today we had a good literacy block where the students worked on their oral communication skills telling us about their weekends.
The students have been working on speaking to a group. They are getting more comfortable every day.
In math we continued to work on capacity. We are working on our estimation skills. It is a tough concept but we're getting there.
The students have been showing steady improvement on the blog. Kidblog.org. They continue to show great interest in their writing as well as the writing of others.
In math we continue to work with Mass and Capacity. We have been learning to conduct experiments to solve our problems. We have also learned how to take information from a tally chart and put it into a graph.
