This morning the grade 2's met with Ms. Boyer to learn a bit more about writing paragraphs. Ms. Boyer showed us a hamburger organizer to help us create good paragraphs. The top bun was the topic sentence. The filling was the three detail sentences that need to go in the middle. The bottom bun was a concluding or ending sentence that wraps up the paragraph and maybe tells the reader something about your feelings. The grade 1's met with Mrs. Hamby and learned a bit more about when to use uppercase and lowercase letters. Mrs. Hamby taught us to use uppercase letters at the start of the sentences and to use lowercase letters in the rest of our writing.In math time we got to do Mathletics. We were trying to finish the pattern section. Some of us finished at got to move on to the section about numbers. If you still aren't finished the patterns section please try to work on it at home if you can.
This afternoon we started with a story called Aurora and then we watched a short video of Northern Lights. Ms. Boyer showed us a special hotel where all the rooms are glass igloos and you can watch the Northern Lights while you go to sleep! Then we watched a Rick Mercer Report. He was visiting Labrador to see the Labrador Arctic Winter Games. They did lots of different traditional sports. Then, in gym we tried out some of the arctic games. We tried Seal Crawl, Scoops, and One Foot High Kick.
Tomorrow our helper is: Dominic
