Our learning:
Literacy:
- We have been practicing our instructional writing and in the last two weeks we have learned about adding text features to enhance our writing.
- Within our writers' workshop we have planned and written how to get ready for school and how to be a superhero.
- We have been working in literacy centres that include, reading with the teacher, reading with someone and word work. Next week we are switching up and introducing some new centres.
- Ask your child their favourite task is during Daily 6.
Math:
- In grade 2, we are building our strategies of addition and subtraction using smaller numbers. We have really focused on the strategies of doubles, doubles +1, doubles - 1 and are now moving on to making 10.
- We have been also strengthening our addition and subtraction skills through daily number talks and math games.
- In grade 1, we learned the strategies of counting on and counting back within addition and subtraction.
- We have also been learning some really fun games to enhance our skills.
- We have learned about some more Arctic animals, Polar Bears and Orcas. We are becoming quite good at our scientific drawings with labels.
- We learned the February Cree Moon is the mikisiwipiism (the Eagle Moon).
- After learning about different animals we introduced food chains and what they mean. We have also been examining the different food chains we have in prairie and arctic communities.
- To continue our learning of Earth Systems, we created some seasonal tree art with paint.
