This morning we did something different to practice our word wall words. Half of us practiced them using white boards and dry erase markers while the other half built the words with pipe cleaners. Tomorrow we are going to do the same thing but switching activities. This will be good practice before our word wall quiz which is also tomorrow.
Here are our words again to practice at home tonight:
Group A: pet, get, let, fed, red, did, pan, had, fun, tub
Group B: some, come, home, fun, funny, run, running, ran, us, use
After Phys Ed we set literacy goals that Mrs. G will be adding to our learning plans. Ask me what goal I chose and what I feel I need to improve on (I'll give you a hint, it is either reading or writing skills).
Following recess we did a math activity that related to our novel study. We learned the Ivan, the gorilla lives in a cage that is 40x40 feet big. We started measuring it out by using our own feet. First, we traced our foot on a piece of paper. Then we measure it using non-standard units of measurement. Later, we will be converting the non-standard to standard units.
We learned about Manitoba prairies. A few things we learned are:
-the provincial tree is the white spruce
-some animals from Manitoba are polar bear, fox, white tailed deer, and wolves
-one of the biggest lakes in the world, it is call Lake Winnipeg
-crops they grow are wheat, barley, flax, and oats
At the very end of the day we had a meeting with the other Grade 2s. We had received a letter from Mr. Willy Wonka. The letter was about our magnetic machines that we created. He had taken ideas from each of our machines and put them together to make one magnificent machine for his factory. Mr. Willy Wonka said we did such a great job, he sent us a little treat to all the people that sent a letter to him.
