Good evening everyone. I know there has been some confusion
regarding December 20th, 2013, and if there is school on this day.
There will be no school on Friday, December 20th, 2013, so please do
not send your child to school on that day. Here is a look at our day today;
Math
Grade 1
Students first completed Test 4 from Arith. 1
Tests & Speed Drills book. As a class we reviewed major concepts like,
counting dimes and pennies, adding on, number sequences, word problems, comparing
numbers and addition and subtraction.
Homework:
Pg. 57 – 60
Grade 2
We reviewed addition, subtraction, counting
money, telling time, word problems, place values, temperature.
Homework:
Arithmetic 2 pgs. 42 – 44
Unit of Inquiry
Grade 1
We read the dinosaur book “Suppose You Meet a
Dinosaur or T-Rex Tea”. Then I explained the journal activity. Students are
required to write a journal about what it would be like if they met a dinosaur.
The journal should begin with (If I met a dinosaur I would…) Students MUST
write at least 5-6 sentences (not lines in their journal). They also must draw
a picture to reflect what they wrote in their journal.
Grade 2
The students were given a period to finish up
their advertisement, and work on their presentation which will be presented in
front of all grade two’s tomorrow.
Novel Study
Grade 1 & 2
We began our second Novel Study Unit today!
We brainstormed what kind of a bear Winnie the Pooh is. We also discussed some
other main characters, and watched a short Winne the Pooh episode. We retold
the main events in the clip, just like we do when we read the chapters.
Students got time to colour in their very own Winnie the Pooh.
Cursive Writing
Grade 1 & 2
Both grades worked on their cursive skills in
class today.
Homework:
Grade 1
HWT: PG. 40 – 41
Grade 2
HWT: PG. 38 – 40
Have a great evening everyone!!
