Tuesday, February 11
Today in Math we began with number sentences equalling 11, and I continue to be impressed with how students are pushing themselves to experiment with challenging math concepts. Following number sentences, students checked what they've done so far on textbook pages 90-91 and 94-95 to ensure that they have a multiplication strategy that works consistently for them. Then they continued to work on these pages. A reminder that we will be doing a short check-in tomorrow about two digit by two digit multiplication.
In French we went over Valentine's Day vocabulary and began working on a word search with these words.
In Language Arts, we continued our independent practice with showing instead of telling writing. Students have created some really interesting and descriptive passages, and are paying particular attention to their word choice.
We began our afternoon by creating a super cute Valentine's themed craft with our Grade 2 Buddies.
In Social Studies we continued working on our fur trade diary entries, and read the picture book The Red Sash together to help give us a clearer picture of what life was like during the fur trade.

A reminder that students are welcome to bring Valentines cards for their classmates tomorrow, provided that they bring one for each student in the class. (We have 27 students in our class, and everyone has already been given a class list of names.)
