The game was called 'End to End'. Brandi

In math, me and Daryan were missing one tile so we looked everywhere and then we couldn't find it so we just put the tiles away. Hope

Crossing the River

The students did an amazing job yesterday at the Christmas Concert! Thank you to all the family members that came out to support the Grade 2 'Frosty's' ! 

Today, we played a fun math game. Students had 12 tiles to place on numbers 1 - 12. They then rolled two dice. The numbers were then added together - if the sum matched one of the numbers with a tile on it, student's could move that tile 'across the river'. As a group, we solved a math problem using the addition strategy "2 more". 






We also received a very special mail package from the North Pole!

Winter Painting

Today, students worked on a beautiful painting project. They used the paint colours white, black, red and blue to mix different shades of blues and purples to create a winter night sky. Tomorrow, we will add a silhoutted Christmas tree - you can see the artwork at the Christmas concert on Wednesday!







We also enjoyed our pita lunch, practiced subitizing and solving word problems and fixed up some mixed up sentences. 

For the Christmas concert, I am asking that students wear a white shirt and dark pants. The rest of the costume has been made in class.
