Happy Friday everyone!!! This week flew by! 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

The grade ones worked on subtraction sentences again today! We sang a song, and wrote a subtraction sentence for each verse. They really enjoyed this, and the entire class completed their work in class today.

Grade 2 

The grade twos worked on probability today. We looked at different spinners and predicted why section the spinner would land on. They understood that it would most likely land on a section that is bigger. They then played a game, and used the spinner they used to make predictions.

UOI

Grade 1

Today in UOI, we discussed how we organize our classroom to help us learn. Then the grade 1’s had to draw a picture of their room when it’s messy, and then a picture of how they would organize it. They then had to explain the strategies they used to clean it. 

Grade 2 

The grade two’s had a great day! They built their very structure as a class. Using marshmallow’s and toothpicks, they built a bridge! Then they had a discussion about the structure.

SPELLING TEST!

Novel Study

Both grades listened to a couple pages of chapter five in the Winnie the Pooh novel. Then as a class, we discussed what we read, and what a “trap” is. They had to think of a way to trap a creature in the story.
