We had a very busy week last week, including a visit from Reptilia. We will be the first classroom hosting the geckos which will rotate throughout the school this year. We're excited about these creatures and we will be watching them closely to learn about animals, plants, air, and water. They're also way cute.
Here's what we're working on this week:
Language: We return to our autobiographies to work on writing satisfying conclusions. We will also continue working on who, what, where, when, why as part of reading comprehension. We'll be continuing with compound words and learning about antonyms.
Math: We are now working on double digit (grade 2) and triple digit (grade 3) addition. We will review greater than/less than. As you can see from the pictures, we're busy learning about place value.
Science: We will be looking at the ways in which plants take up and release water and how they release oxygen into the environment.
Social Studies: We will continue looking at the types of jobs people do in different communities.
See lot's of pictures below including one of our grade 2 students who brought in a very interesting gourd which will become a habitat for a bird. Please feel free to send in "show and tell" items that connect to our learning.
Have a great week - I hope book bags are coming home this week (knock on wood for time).
All the best,
E. Hawkins
