Hello everyone! Just a reminder that tomorrow, Friday, November 8^th, 2013, and Monday, November 11^th, 2013 are PA days! Hope everyone is excited for the weekend J Here is a look at our today.

Math

Grade 1

We focused on number from 1 to 20 and the different ways we can represent them.

The students were shown a two-part mat an they learned how we can use it to help show and build different numbers bigger than 10. The students used various numbers from 10-20, which they had to use to change the right side of the mat.

Homework

MMS pgs. 33-35.

Grade 2

Today in grade 2 we used paper plates that the students made yesterday to tell time. We reviewed what hand was the hour hand and what hand was the minute hand. We always reviewed how to count minutes. Then, we talked about the different ways you can tell time.

Homework

MMS: pgs. 61-63

Together we read Tom and the Dinosaur Egg together at the carpet. Then, the students had a chance to write a story/journal in which you have your own pet dinosaur. What adventures might you have together? They had to write 5 sentences for this writing assignment.

The grade twos worked on advertising a print aid for a special teddy bear. They had to use what they have learned about advertising so far, and apply it to this print out.

We also had a remembrance day assemble today. As a school we met in the gym. We watched a video, wrote a postcard to a veteran, and showed our respect during a minute of silence. This was a great preparation for Monday. Hopefully, everyone will remember to pay their respects at 11:00am on Monday!

Have a very great long weekend J
