This morning we got our 50 words for the week. Since it is a short week, the big quiz will be on Thursday. We did task cards again today, to practice our words. There were 5 options, we only had to choose one for today. The tasks we got to chose from were writing the words with our opposite hand, writing the word backwards, circle all the consonants, write the words in shapes, and writing the words tracing the outside of shapes. Ask me what task I chose to do!
Following are the two lists of words, they are also coming home with me today.

After recess, we had math. We watched a short video on the gorilla, Ivan, from our novel study. He was real and lived in a mall for most of his life. He compared the size of his domain in the video to the size of his domain in the novel. We also talked a bit about what he had in his domains and what we think he should have to be a happier gorilla. To end the morning we started doing a drawing of Ivan in our visual journals. Tomorrow we will continue, and add to this drawing.
Following lunch we joined the other grade 2 classes for Health. We are starting a unit on healthy eating habits and the 4 food groups. To start the unit we brainstormed what we thought healthy eating means or is. A few ideas we came up with were:
-eating fruits and vegetables
-drink lots and lots of water
-if you eat healthy you will grow taller
-drinking milk helps you to grow big and strong
Then we listened to a story on the internet called Gregory the Terrible Eater. Following the story we made a list of healthy eating habits and non-healthy eating habits.
-healthy habits: eat the rainbow - the four food groups, having a small treat once and a while,
-non-healthy habits: eating candy every day, try not to be a picky goat eater
Then we had music. To end the day, we did another health activity. We had to create a healthy alphabet. It was challenging to come up with healthy foods that start with each letter!
