Strike a Pose by Chloe Another great day in grade two!  We started off the day reviewing our 5 class rules and setting up our papers.  We started with our spelling word of the day "taffy".  How many syllable (claps) does it have?  What special kind of letter does each syllabe need?  We practiced our three sentences for an introduction of a story, and we did a quick doodle of a candy taffy.  Then we walked down the hall to Mrs. Hill's class for language arts.  How did you do on your scavenger hunt?  What was the hardest thing to find?  Students played a game of "guess the covered word", and I also saw some great stories that the students wrote abou their most memorable thing they did over the summer!  It was raining outside so we stayed in for recess.  I was really happy with how everyone kept the class nice and clean!  In math we talked about patterns.  We reviewed the word "core"  and had two new words today, attribute and element.  We also did a quick review of our "counting on" strategy for addition numbers 0-9.  After indoor lunch we went to the computer room.  Remember, the computer room is a classroom, and some ,sites/games that are okay for home may not be okay for school.  After computer we went to PE with Mrs. Hache.  Does Mrs. Hache have different rules for the gym?  After PE we came back to the classroom.  We read the first chapter of our book, "The Magic Treehouse - Dinosaur Before Dark".  Do you remember what Annie's brothers name is?  What did she find in the woods?  We finished off the day with some writing.  Who did you write about that was nice to you today?  Get lots of sleep tonight and I will see you tomorrow!
