Arctic Games, Counting by 10's, and Arctic Buddy Building

This morning we reviewed what we have learned about Arctic games and watched a new video that showed some new games. Then we made a list of all the games we know so that we can add them to our Inuit History books. This is the last page in our books! Starting tomorrow, we will be working on finishing up our books instead of doing centers during guided reading time. We are expecting that we will need about one more week of center time to get all of our finishing touches done for each page so that the books will be done.

In math, we started practicing counting by 10's. For grade 1's we started making a counting by 10's game up to 100. For the grade 2's we are making the game up to 200 although our grade 2 friends should be able to keep the pattern going all the way to 1000!

After lunch we got to start building our Arctic Buddies. We did a good job following our plans and we are experimenting with different fasteners to make all the layers stick together well. We will keep working on building tomorrow so that we should be ready to test on Thursday.  After our science time was over we went to gym. The gymnastics equipment is now set up and we had a chance to try out a few different stations. We are working to try balances right now on the different types of equipment. Next, we will try jumps and turns.

Tomorrow is Winter Walk Day! We will be walking through the Whispering Woods and school field for 20 minutes as part of this national campaign. Please make sure you are wearing good boots for walking in the snow. 

Report Cards are coming home today! Please keep the report card at home but return the signed envelope so that we can use it again next time. 

Our helper tomorrow is: Levi
