Today was bike to school day! Congratulations to all our Room 2 students who rode their bikes today!
Today we started two new projects that we will be working on until the end of the year. The first one is a final story writing project. This morning we read 3 different folktales and talked about ways we could write Nose Hill versions of those stories. Then each of us chose a story we wanted to re-tell and began creating a story map. Ask me what kind of story I am going to write and the characters I have chosen so far!
In math we continued focusing on adding and subtracting in our math groups.
This afternoon we did some research for our final social studies project. The question for this project is: What was Calgary like 100 years ago? Yesterday we did some brainstorming about things we thought might have existed in Calgary 100 years ago. We created an "I Think..." chart with a buddy. Today we went to the Glenbow Museum Photography Archives and did some research to see if our theories were true. Ask me about the things I discovered about Calgary today.
Tomorrow is our field trip to Heritage Park! The weather forecast looks great but please be prepared for Calgary's unpredictable weather. Heritage Park is an outdoor field trip and we need to be prepared to be outside for most of the day. Please make sure you have applied sunscreen before coming to school and bring a hat with you. Your backpack should include your lunch, an extra snack, a small waterbottle, and any extra clothing you want to have (please leave toys, books etc. at home). Students are also invited to bring a small amount of money if they would like to buy something small from the bakery, candy store, or ice cream shop.
