Then we continued working on our Whispering Woods typing. Almost half of us finished today and we are hoping to get everyone else finished up tomorrow or Thursday at the latest. Then we will be ready to start the watercolour illustrations next week.
After recess we had a lockdown drill during Wordwork. During a lockdown we have to go sit quiety by our green lockdown meeting dot and pretend that the classroom is empty. We have to stay very still and we don't make any noise at all. When the drill was finished our school's police officer, Officer Johnson, came and told us that we did a great job! The grade 2's were in the portable during the drill and they did a great job staying quiet and still at their meeting dot with Ms. Stephure.
Once the lockdown was over we worked to finish up our Pattern Check. We will have 2 more days to finish this and then we will be moving on to some new work about counting patterns.
This afternoon we finished our conversation about Arctic transportation and then we tried to figure out which types of transportation would have been used by the Inuit long ago. Starting tomorrow we are going to be making history books to show our learning about traditional Inuit ways of living in the Arctic. We will be learning about transportation, clothing, food, houses, tools, and games.
Home Challenge: What is an Umiak? What is it used for? How is it made?
(Email Ms. Boyer if you find the answer or bring it to school on a piece of paper.)
Today we are bringing home a green notice about the Festive Evening in our green folders. We are also still looking for home reading volunteers for Thursday this week and Wednesday and Thursday next week. If you are available please sign up on the Google Calendar.
Our helper tomorrow is: Abdul Ahad
