Hello,
It was so nice to see all of the students back on Monday.
We did a Wet Felting Project on Monday. It was a great project and nice to work with wool. Here are some pictures.
In Science we are continuing to look at Exploring Liquids. This week I did a demonstration and was able to put 79 paperclips in a cup full of water before it spilled. This reinforced the ideas of cohesion and surface tension.
In Social Studies, we have started looking at Calgary. We will be comparing it to Meteghan, Iqaluit and Saskatoon the three communities that we have already studied this year. So far, we have looked at the physical geography as well as the water (bodies of water).
In math, we are continuing our look at measurement. We have started to look at mass and making comparisons using lighter than and heavier than.
In writing we are continuing our look at climbing stories. This week we looked at a skeleton story of the 3 Little Pigs. Students were asked to write their own story adding more details. Next we will be looking at the ways we can write entertaining beginnings to our climbing stories.
We have also been practicing for Willy Wonka which will be on Thursday, April 21st at 6:30 pm. Please go under resources to find Mrs. Hawkins blog. Students can be practicing the songs there.
Grade 2 is also going to be hosting a fairness assembly on Monday, May 2nd. We will be preforming the song "That's Not Fair" as a grade 2 group. We will also be singing/rapping another song about fairness. You can click on the 2 links below to get the lyrics.
I hope you all have a great weekend,
Mrs. Coulling
