Top Five Fabulous! September 19, 2019

  1. We have started our science unit on magnets.  We used a magnet and we went around our class to test what would attract, and what would not attract.  Some things even repelled!  We found out that if the force of the magnet was strong, we could even attract through a table!  
  2. In math, we have continued to learn about patterns.  We worked with a group and we made patterns using a variety of objects (dice, attribute blocks, unifix cubes, money, tens rods and ones units, and chips).  We had to record the pattern in our math journal and we circled the core.
  3. In writing, we read the book, “What Do You Do With a Problem?” We then discussed different problems that the children may have had at recess and then came up with solutions. We will continue to work on this all year!
  4. In PE, we have been playing cooperative games.  We are working on moving our bodies in various ways and playing with friends in a safe way.  
  5. We read a book called, “I am Yoga”.  We learned about different poses and we learned about why we do yoga in the afternoons.  We know that yoga helps us with getting back into the green zone to be ready for our afternoon of learning.

Top Five Fabulous!     February 12, 2020 We celebrated our 100 th day of learning.      We are 100 days smarter.     Many of the kids dressed like they were 100 years old and we had a lot of fun working through different centres with the grade 2 teachers.     We made bookmarks, we built things using 100 objects, and we read, ‘Not a Box’ before making our own ‘Not a 100’.     Ask me what I made. In math, we made a blueprint of a structure using 3D objects.     We had to use cones, cylinders, cubes, prisms and pyramids.     After making our blueprint, we had a chance to actually build our structure.     Some kids also worked on their 2D shapes using geoboards.     We will continue this work next week. In science, we tested different liquids to determine which ones would mix.     We discovered that oil and water do not mix, but water and juice would mix. The oil was thicker, and ...

Top Five Fabulous!     February 21, 2020 We looked at a new wonder this week.     This wonder was connected to science.     We learned a new science vocabulary word “camouflage”.     We looked at pictures of animals, in the wild, and they were camouflaged with their surroundings.     We talked about what we noticed and what we wondered.     Check out the wonder under the “Wonder Tab”. In math, we read a few really funny books about 2D shapes.     One of them was called, “Animal Shapes” and then we came up with a 2D shape, and animal and a name for the combination of the two, using our imaginations.   Ask me what my shape was called.   We also read “Square” and “Triangle”. We had the Calgary Opera come to our school this week.     The Opera was called, “The Brennan Musicians”.     We liked that at the end, it was a happy ending and it was funny.     The people wore cool co...
