Wacky Wednesday

I want to remind all of my students that we are in grade 2 and this means that when we come to school, we come ready to learn. When we are at school, we always try our best and respect our teacher. Ms. Jaskolka works very hard preparing all of the activities and assignments so that students can achieve academic success and she expects the students to also work hard and try their best.

We began the day having French with Mdm. Stella.

We then moved onto UOI. We watched three television commercials and we picked one to discuss. We were given a media booklet and we wrote about important techniques used in the television commercial, the audience, and purpose.
Shopkins
Despicable Me
Kung Fu Panda 3

After, we finished off our graphic organizers for the donut that we created and then moved onto our rough copies.

Following first recess and lunch, students had physical education with Ms. Lovan.

When students returned, we reviewed how to tell time. We are reminded that when the hour hand is in between two numbers, the hour is the number that comes before. For example, when the hour hand is in between 3 and 4, the hour hand has not reached the four yet, and so the hour is still 3. We also looked at the differences between an analog and digital clock. After, we worked on a time package to help us better understand how to tell time.

After, we continued working on the rough copies of our donut advertisement.

Following second recess and lunch, we did a retell of chapter 7 and then continued on reading chapter 8 as a class. Henry was walking along the highway all alone. He ended up meeting Mac and decided to join him in his truck. Henry was worried if Mac saw his chocolate spots that Mac would kick him out but he did not mind. Henry did not want to go back home but Mac reminded him that he has loving parents who must be so worried about him so they need to call his parents at the next rest stop. Henry agreed.

After, students worked on an opinion and fact activity. Students were given statements from the story and they needed to determine if it was an opinion or a fact.
