Learning Good Communication Skills

Today grade 2's had a guest presetentation on how to be a good comminucator. We learned about body language, using all our speech parts (tongue, mouth, teeth and jaw) and using the right volume of voice. Students did a great job acting out the 'wrong way' to communicate with each other.

Studying Inukshuks and writing story problems

Today we spent time reading a non-fiction book together as a class: The Inuksuk, Guide in the North. We learned that Inukshuks can have different meanings.

 
 
 
In math, we practiced solving addition problems. Students had the chance to write their own problems and challenge others to solve them. We then played an addition 'go fish' game to practice making 10.
