Today was a normal day again, finally.

Tomorrow we have our word wall quiz! So I need to make sure to practice my words tonight so I can ace the quiz. Here are our words again:
Group A: his, dig, pat, sun, put, is, big, men, cam, am
Group B: no, go, going, most, kind, find, gave, so, do, doing
Today, at school, to practice our words, we had to complete a worksheet with fill in the blanks and scrambled words.
We then went in to our creative writing. We took a few minutes, again, to look at the picture and come up with ideas in our own heads of what we could write, then we went right into continuing our writing.

After recess we had Phys. Ed with the rest of the Grade 2s! It was so nice to be with them again, although we had fun with the Grade 1s. Ask me about the game we played.

In math, we continued working with graphs. Today, we learned all about how to read and answer questions about graphs properly. We also learned about a few different kinds of graphs, including; bar graphs, picture graphs, line graphs, and plot/dot graphs. Soon we will be making one of each all on our own.

Following lunch we had some time to read to our self from the books in our classroom or our library book if we brought it to school.

Then we did a pre activity for our next novel study. Mrs. G did not tell us the title of the book, instead she showed us four different pictures, one at a time. In our visual journals, we had to write down 3-5 things that first popped into our heads when we say the pictures. Ask we what the pictures are and what I think the novel will be about...!

To end the day, we started a social studies unit on communities. First, we reviewed what we discussed back in September on what we already knew about communities. Then, in our visual journals, we divided the page into four sections. We titled each section; Canada, Alberta, Calgary, and Beddington. Under each title, we had to draw a picture or write 3-5 things that represent each community.
