I want to start by congratulating our first grade friends on completing over 1000 math problems on IXL. If you have not logged on yet. Please do so tonight. I have sent an email with log in details for those of you who may have misplaced the original letter. Today we began Math centres. Students worked in small groups for more direct teacher instruction. One activity was working with myself on using measurement tools. We learned about centimetres and different tools we can use to measure. We used a ruler, a tape measure, and a metre stick to measure various objects around the room. Another activity was working with Miss Soa, on using a ruler to make straight lines and count by twos. The used a connect the dots activity to make a star with a ruler. Our other activity was sorting dominoes. The students needed to use their subitizing skills to see numbers based on picture patters and group them in order. In Language Arts, we continued to look at what makes a sentence and began coming up with nouns for the silly sentences we will be writing tomorrow. During our UOI time, we presented our story to the grade 3s. I had forgotten that the grade 2s were out on a field trip. I think that the small audience was better for some of our shy performers. The students did a great job presenting, speaking in a loud voice, and teaching others about diversity and getting along. We were so proud. A video has been sent to your email addresses. Some photos are attached below. The last one reminds me just how tall I really am. We had a lovely day.
