A wonderful Monday in Grade 2!   We started off the day with a sharing circle and some weekend news.  We did a Biography video for our world news.  The man had crazy hair and was very good at math, do you remember his name?  I had to go to a quick meeting and Mrs. McFarlene came in and did a quick doodle with the class before going to Language Arts with Mrs. Hill.  In LA we worked on "How to" stories, did a reading group, and some daily 5.  After recess we had a special presentation by Carlos and Emily.  They were promoting Systema (a note went home today) and they were fabulous!  I cant say enough great things about that program.  We did a quick listening quiz in math before lunch.  After lunch we went to the computer lab.  We worked on putting pictures from Paint into our Word Pad Documents.  In PE we played some games.  "Everybodies it" is my favorite game!  Whats yours?  We went back to the classroom and read a little of "The One and Only Ivan".  Does Ivan seem happy to you?  We finished off the day packing some memo's about The play at JMH on Thursday, The upcoming Yard Sale, Systema, and Mango Go for 42.  Get lots of sleep, dress warm, and I will see you in the morning!
