It was a busy day in Grade 2!  We started off the day with our regular routine.  Our spelling word was "creative", and our introduction and first was for a story called "How to make perfect popcorn".  In math we did a quick listening quiz where we worked on representing numbers by drawing base ten blocks.  We practiced counting money with a friend, and used our hundreds chart to help us add numbers.  After recess, some students worked on a STEM Fair project with me, while others who had a start on theirs worked with Mrs. Hill.  After lunch we had Ms. MacKenzie for guidance.  What was your favorite yoga stretch?  In PE with Mrs. Hache we played floor hockey.  We finished off the day putting both classes together to work on our music festival song. STEM Fair Projects will be presented in the gym first thing Thursday morning.  Im excited to see all the hard work!  Get lots of rest and I will see you in the morning.  

     A reguar day in Grade 2!  I was here all day for the first time this week, and it was great to be back in the classroom.  We started the day with our regular routine.  Our spelling word was "chocolate", our story was for "How to catch the Easter bunny" and we doodled decorated Easter eggs. 

     Today we did Make Something That Does Something.  We worked our egg drop from the top of the stairs.  Students worked in groups and had to lower or drop eggs from the top of the stair case and not have them break on the floor below.  Did you lower or drop your egg?  Did it break?

     After recess we had language arts with Mrs Hill.  She did two read alouds.  "Fudge-a-mania" and "The Easter Parade", which one was your favorite?  We did an Easter word search and an Easter acrostic poem. 

     In the afternoon we went to the school library and exchanged our books.  We returned from the library a little bit earlier to have a special guest!  Do you remember who the guest was? 

     After our guest left we went to PE with Mrs. Hache.  She let us choose our games!  Dead Ant is my favorite game, what other games did you play?

     Finally we came back upstairs, we worked on our book of gratitude, we searched for a golden egg (even though it was purple), and we did a chair change before going home for the long weekend!

     I have attached a sheet for the Parent Teacher times if you would like to schedule your time for next week with Mrs. Hill and I.   It is a great weekend to get a jump on our STEM Fair projects!  The links are under the homework section of this page!  Have a great weekend, get lots of rest, and stay safe!  See you next week!  Hoppy Easter!

     It seems like it has been some time since I have posted on my teacher page.  Now that we are all rested from the March break it is time to get back to business as usual.  We started off today by putting both grade two classes together to practice our song for the music festival.  After a practice run through we did our regular morning routine.  Our spelling word was "gruesome" and our "Intro and First" was for a story called "How to get rid of a cat".  We doodled a baby penguin and did some math. 

     In math we worked on our Unit test for measurement.  We will work on it again tomorrow for a little bit and finish off our measurement unit. 

     After recess we had language arts with Mrs. Hill. She did a read aloud, guided reading, daily five activities, and finished off your St. Patricks Day art projects that are hanging in the hallway.  What a busy day in Mrs. Hill's room.

     After lunch we did a shared writing activity before gym.  We worked on choosing different characters, settings, and problems to create a story. We did get a quick story done before gym. 

     In PE with Mrs. Hache we played washer toss.  Safety is always the biggest rule of everything we do!  Are there any safety rules for washer toss?  Why do you think that is?

     We finished off the day with our book of gratitude writing, and getting our agenda's signed.  Most students signed their own agenda today.

     Im really pleased to see all the STEM project forms that have come in already!  I can tell there are going to be some great projects from our room!  Please check out our STEM Fair posting in the Homework section of this page for more information.  Get lots of sleep, dress warm, and I will see you bright and early tomorrow.
