It was a busy day today in Grade 2!  I keep pushing the class and they keep rising to all the challenges and are doing lot of work independantly.  What does independantly mean? 

We started off our day with our regular routine.  We set up our sheet, did our word wall, spelling (incredible), wrote and introduction for "How to Eat Bugs", and we doodled a turtle.  We also did our flouride and reviewed our morning routine and responsibilities.

In Math we reviewed our pattern terms (element, core, increasing, and attribute).  We went over our counting on strategy for adding numbers 1-20, we played around the world with flash cards, and worked on some number lines. 

After an outdoor recess we had a writers workshop.  We worked on our "How to.." story format and worked on adding one detail sentence each time.  We should finish up our stories on Thursday and be ready to publish by next week!

In the afternoon we had PE with Ms. McFarlene.  It was Tally Tuesday today!  Then we went to the computer lab.  We reviewed logging in, windows start button, Internet explorer, using the address bar, and opening seperate tabs.

We finished off the day with our read aloud of the Cam Jansen book.  Who chased Cam and Eric around the house?  We finished off the day getting our agenda's signed.  Try to read something fun for 10 minutes tonight and maybe make it apart of your after school or bed time routine. 

Good luck to the grades 3, 4, and 5's who are playing soccer in Napan tonight!  Get lots of sleep, and I will see you in the morning!
