Another fun day in grade 2 with lots of laughs and lots of learning!  We started off the day with our regular routine.  Our spelling word was "compressor", and our "First," was for a story called "How to Draw Anything".  We doodled a sea turtle and then started math.  In math we talked about how to use a ruler, starting at the zero mark, and using different units.  We practiced using some measurement sheets.  We are currently using cm, even though the ruler has mm too.  We also looked at the calendar and talked about being careful on questions that ask for the "day" verses the "date"!  Read and listen carefully!  After recess we had language arts with Mrs. Hill.   We did a read aloud, worked on daily 5 stations, guided reading, and some work work activities with homophones.  After a beautiful day outside and lunch we had library.  Every person returned their book and got a new book.  In PE we played basketball.  I watched the sideline basketball at the end!  WOW everyone played really hard!  The game went into overtime.  When we got back to the classroom I handed out the Home and School Tickets and notices for the valentines day draw, signed the agenda's, and the bell rang!  We have an assembly at 10:30 tomorrow after recess and all are welcome to attend.  Get lots of sleep, dress warm, and I will see you tomorrow for the last school day of the week!
