Good evening parents! Hope everyone is enjoying the week so far and keep warm! I just wanted to remind everyone of the Gala, which will take place on February 22, 2014. Its going to be a great, and I really hope to see you all there :) The grade two's will be having their UOI day on Monday, January 13th, 2014. There will be a scientist in the school who will be conducting a structure workshop with them! It is $8 dollars for each child. The money must be in by this Friday, January 10th, 2013, along with their permission form. The forms are in the front of their agenda :) Take a look at our day;

Math 

Grade 1

Today we worked on subtracting stories. As a class, we looked at a picture together, and came up with various subtraction stories. Then, in groups the children created their own stories using counters.

MMS: pgs. 90 & 91

Grade 2 

The grade 2’s worked on their math skills, such as addition and subtraction problems, telling time, and counting money in their Arithmetic workbooks.

Pgs. 84 – 87

UOI

Grade 1

Today the students learned how to organize their ideas when writing a paragraph. We used the “hamburger” method to sort our ideas. We started with a topic sentence, then 2 supporting sentences, and then an ending sentence. They had to use this method while reflecting on their Christmas vacation.

Grade 2 

The grade 2's reviewed our structures unit and went over any questions for the summative. The grade 2's are to draw a structure of their bridge for Monday, along with any materials they need to build this structure. PLEASE BRING THE MONEY AND PERMISSION FORM FOR TOMORROW!!! 

Language 

Both grade 1's and 2's worked on their phonics today in their Language workbooks.

Grade 1: pgs. 72 – 73

Grade 2: pgs. 68 – 70

Cursive Writing

Both grade 1's and 2's practiced their cursive writing in their HWT workbooks. 

Grade 1: pgs. 68 – 69

Have a wonderful evening everyone :)
