Another great day in Grade 2 at Ian Baillie. As the students came in they started their morning sheet right away, and opened their agenda's so I could check for notes. We even had a chance to try some "delightful" turkish treats thanks to Colbie! We worked on our Word Wall, "How to get dressed" story, and we doodled an icecream cone.

In math we did a listening quiz and corrected it ourselves! We talked about patterns. We went over attributes (describing words like shape, color, size), elements (items in a pattern), core (the part that repeats), and what makes a pattern. We also did math with a friend and played poison pill. 

After recess we had language arts. We did a writers workshop on "Think it, ink it". What every you are thinking, no matter how random, you write it down. I had some students almost fill a page. We also talked about spelling. We talked about what we do if we come to a word we dont know how to spell. Use our morning strategies, underline the word, and keep on writing! We shared our writing and went to lunch!

After lunch we had PE in the gym with Ms. McFarlene. Did you get to use the parachute again today? We left the gym and went straight to the computer lab! Today we got our very own login's. Try to memorize your login! We also learned about the the Windows start button and volume control.

We finished off the day with another chapter from our flat stanley book. Why was Stanley cross at Anthony when he went for a soda? We talked about fire drill and bus safety. Everyone got their agenda's signed and we called it a day!

Get lots of rest and I will see you all in the morning!
