November 12

Haymin was the star student today which means he was our line leader, he also did our calendar and our schedule. In math, Grade 2s worked on counting by 2s and 5s and 10s. Grade 2s read a book called 'Johan makes a wish' and wrote about wishes in writing time. For math time, Grade 1s counted things all around the room. In science we are learning about the seasons. Today we learned about hibernation!

Remembrance Day

Today we got poppies. We got them so that we can remember the soldiers who fought in the war. We also had an assembly about remembrance day and remembering the soldiers who died. We took a moment of silence during the assembly to think about and thank those soldiers. We did some art today: we painted poppies with our thumbs and we also worked on our pumpkin or fall art. We watched a video and we learned that poppies are for remembering the soldiers, the poppies started growing on the fields where the soldiers died, all the money from buying poppies goes to the soldiers and their families to help them buy food and clothes.

Picture retake day is on MONDAY!!!!!! If you need retakes please bring back your whole envelope with pictures and forms.

Today we worked on letter T in writing with Grade 1s. Grade 2s did a remembrance day story and read it for the class. In math they worked on counting backwards by 2s and 5s. We also worked on a writing sample to show Ms. Adamson where we are at in our writing. Hadia was star student today so she did our calendar. In social studies we talked about Kindness and we had to solve puzzles to figure out what kindness words and phrases fit into different spots. We also went to gym. Tomorrow we will be having our remembrance day assembly which we learned a little bit about today.

November 7th

Today we learned about ten frames in math. We are also working on subitizing, which is seeing a number of dots and quickly figuring out how many there are. In writing Grade 1s worked on letter S. Grade 2s worked on a Rememberance day poem. In the afternoon we did an activity about kindness. We drew a picture of something we could do that is kind, and then wrote kindness words like: sharing, caring, being nice, be friends, being respectful, bucket filler. At the end of the day today we had music!

Happy Diwali!

November 6th

Today we learned about migration! Did you know that birds migrate to the south in the winter? They fly in a specific shape together and can find their destination without a map! In math Grade 1s have been making our own memory card game. In writing we worked on letter R.

November 2nd

Today we started computers. We had our first time logging in this year! It's still pretty hard and we will keep working on it. We learned about not giving up today. When something is a challenge we need to keep trying. We did some fall art with pumpkins! We drew first in pencil and then we went over it with marker. Brahmvir was star student today so he did our calendar today.

November 1st

Today we started our November calendar. In math, grade 1s made cards with numbers on them and with the number words. In math, grade 2s counted seeds by 2s to find out how many seeds were in their Halloween pumpkin yesterday. There were 500 seeds! In grade 2 writing they made monsters. They had to describe what their monster looked like then they had to try and guess whose monster was whose. Today grade 1s were working on letter 'Q' - we learned that queen starts with letter 'Q' and quick also starts with 'Q'.  We learned about 'cooperation' and we worked in a group to come up with a way to solve a problem. We could use 'rock paper scissors' to take turns. We could also all share together.
