Top Five Fabulous!  In math, we read the book, “A Bad Case of the Stripes”.  We started to talk about patterns.  We know that they must repeat and all patterns have a core (the part that we have before it starts to repeat).  The children learned about more complex patterns (for example AABCCD).  We started to make our own patterns on our hand tracings.  We also went on a pattern walk  about side.  Please see some of the photos below.   In literacy, we learned how to buddy read.  We have to sit EEKK (elbow to elbow and knee to knee), the book needs to be in the middle so that we can both see, we use a whisper voice when we are reading and we stick in one spot.  We will continue to practice this all year long. We read a book called, "The Friend Ship".  It was a really funny book, and it talked about including others to show belonging.  We wrote about what we can do to do show that we are a kind friend and we d...

Top Five Fabulous!  February 12, 2020 1.    We celebrated our 100 th day 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 o...

Top Five Fabulous         Feb. 28 1. In PE we had a guest teacher.    He taught gym because he reached 100 on his reading treasure map.    He decided what games our class would be playing.    Also he explained what expectations he was looking in order to choose which classmates would be helpers. 2. In math, we used a mystery box to guess which 3D object was inside it.    We brainstormed a few questions to ask to figure out what object might be in the box.    The questions were: How many faces does the object have? How many edges does the object have? How many vertices does the object have?    What shapes are faces?    What could the object be used for? 3.    On Wednesday we had a sharing assembly.    In our assembly, a few of the grade 5/6 students shared “Would You Rather…” writing.    They were funny.    The grade 4’s and kinderg...
