Wednesday Sept. 9

 Good afternoon Grade 2 families!

We started our morning off practising our printing. We took our time to show that we could neatly print the letters of the alphabet, both upper and lower case. During this time Mrs. MacDonald and Mrs. Taylor called students over to read with them.

In Math we began our investigation into the 100s chart. We started off by looking for any patterns that we noticed. Ask me what I know about the 100s chart. We then filled in our own 100s chart to keep in our math duotang.
We will be spending the next while looking closely at the 100s chart, making 10, number patterns and number talks - we are really excited to dive in!

In writing Mrs. Taylor's class used their Memory Pocket to write about a happy memory. Ask me what happy memory I chose to write about.

Mrs. MacDonald's class created their Fact Pocket. We watched a quick video and then shared the different facts or things that we know a lot about. We then wrote them down in our Fact Pocket so that we can refer to them during writing time.
Ask me what I chose for my facts.

In the afternoon, Mrs. Taylor's class began their self portrait. However, this is not any ordinary self-portrait but rather one that shows us with and without a mask on. We also filled it with adjectives (oooh, ask me what an adjective is!) that describe our personality and ourselves.

Mrs. MacDonald's class began working on a visual journal page that helps remind us why we physically distance ourselves. Here is a video we used to fold our physically distanced people. Some of us may want to try this again at home.
