Update from last week and December 2

Thursday and Friday
- students wrote "How to Build a Snowman"
- students created a bingo board using holiday words in French
- we completed another math challenge with Mrs. Harms (math learning leader) and finished up comparing and ordering numbers to 10 000
- we decked the halls by making snowflakes with our buddies in grade 2
- continued toy box project work

Today:

- Students examined artifacts from a special Heritage Park artifacts kit - students recorded I see.. I think... and I wonder... in groups. We will continue to study these artifacts through out the week and will find out about each object's significance to a group in Alberta's past.
- We studied a new pattern of words in word work -R controlled with an e vowel sound (er, eer, ear).
- We did a mystery picture using expanded notation - students were challenged by using numbers in the 10 and 100 thousands
- Buddy Reading in the learning commons with Grade 2s
- Mrs. Campbell and Ms. Jonasson did an instructional writing lesson. Students how to tell the teachers how to make the perfect PB (wow butter) and Jelly sandwiches. Teachers followed instructions exactly and instructions were not always clear (put jelly on bread - teachers used their hands!) Students then learned about being very specific when writing instructions;  students wrote on their own how to make their perfect PB and J. We will use instructional writing skills to create a step by step instruction manual as part of our toy box project.
