**Next Wednesday September 30 we will be having the Terry Fox run. Pledge forms went home today. Please have your child come in comfortable casual clothing because we will be running outside. Thanks so much!**
**We will be having our first unit (Patterning and Sorting) test on Monday. Reviews will go home on Friday.**
**A reminder that we have Spelling tests every Friday. **
We began the day having French with
Mdm Stella.
We then sang our continents and
oceans songs so we can remember them all. We then watched a video called “If
the world were a village of 100 people.” In this video, we learned how many
people would come from each continent based on how big or small the population
is in each continent. We found out that 61 people would come from Asia! We
inquired why this was and figured out that because it is the biggest continent,
the most people would come from there. We learned only 5 people would come from
Canada. We used our inquiry skills and decided this was because in Canada it
can be really cold and more people will want to live where it is warmer.
We also learned how to say hello in
the eight languages that are spoken the most in the world. Watch us, watch the
video, and repeat how to say hello in eight different languages!
We also created graphs “If SJA grade 2 was a village.” We graphed our nationality/
cultural background:
Before recess, we reviewed how to
write a proper sentence. We know that our sentences need to have a noun and
verb and that detailed sentences also include adjectives. We were then given
broken up sentences. We worked in partners to form the correct sentences.
After, we identified the noun (s), verb (s), and adjectives (s). We also kept
an eye out for capitals at the beginning of the sentences and a period at the
end.
In math, we continued to make patterns and
represent them in different ways (shape, letters, numbers, colour, symbols,
words).
Students were also problem solving
today. Students were given a certain amount of coloured cubes and they needed
to figure out what kinds of patterns they could make.
Following second recess and lunch,
we went over the expectations during Daily 5.
We then wrote our homework in our
agendas and packed up for home.

1. Read for 20 minutes
2. Adjective sheet (Front and back) due tomorrow
