Top Five Fabulous! February 12, 2020
1. We celebrated our 100thday of learning. We are 100 days smarter. Many of the kids dressed like they were 100 years old and we had a lot of fun working through different centres with the grade 2 teachers. We made bookmarks, we built things using 100 objects, and we read, ‘Not a Box’ before making our own ‘Not a 100’. Ask me what I made.
2. In math, we made a blueprint of a structure using 3D objects. We had to use cones, cylinders, cubes, prisms and pyramids. After making our blueprint, we had a chance to actually build our structure. Some kids also worked on their 2D shapes using geoboards. We will continue this work next week.
3. In science, we tested different liquids to determine which ones would mix. We discovered that oil and water do not mix, but water and juice would mix. The oil was thicker, and the juice is thinner and it contains water. We also brainstormed how hot and cold would change matter.
4. In PE, we finished with our Rocks and Rings. We had a tournament and it was so much fun!
5. In literacy we have been working on sound effect words. We read the book, “The Great Fuzz Frenzy” and listened for sound effect words. We brainstormed a LONG list of words, and then using our visual art journal, we drew a picture to match the sound effect words.
Have a great long weekend! See you on February 18, 2020.
