We began the day writing our 2-D Geometry
Math test.
We then had physical education with Mr.
Slyk.
We then performed action for our current
UOI unit as a class!! We had 2 students from grade 6 come in and inform us
about their Exhibition project that has to do with saving bees. Part of their
action is involving the students at SJA in a project that will help the bees
find the food and pollen they need. We have already learned about the
importance of bees and why they are declining in numbers so we were very
excited to take part in this exciting project!!! We went outside with our grade
6 friends and first they let us know how to properly plant the seeds (we got
6!) and then we planted each seed in our garden.
Afterwards, we all had a discussion about
bees and why they are important. Here is a glimpse:

Great action grade 2's! Ms. Jaskolka is so proud of all of you!!!
After first recess
and lunch, we had Music and then French.
After second
recess and lunch we dove into our next math unit: Mass and Capacity.
We then began our new math unit: Mass and Capacity. We discussed what we
remember about measurement and the attributes that can be measured (length,
width, temperature, how much something holds, how heavy something is). We will
be comparing and ordering masses and how much containers will hold during this
unit. We learned that the Mass of an object is how heavy or light
something is and capacity is the amount a container will hold. We then
looked at the Big Math book page 56. We answered what is going on in the
picture and what things we can measure? (milk, flour etc). We discussed how
people are measuring? (scales, containers), How can we find out which container
holds more? (filling containers to see how much each holds, compare the size of
the containers), How are people comparing items? (mass, how much fits in a
container, by price)
Students then wrote and drew items/object that
they can measure using mass of at home and school. We repeated this for
capacity.
Students were then shown four containers of
various sizes and students predicted which they think will hold the most amount
of water: teacup, mug, small bowl, big bowl.
We found out that the teacup held the least amount of
water so it had the smallest capacity; we now know that the big bowl has the
most capacity because it held the most amount of water. We then wrote out our
findings in our math books.
Homework:
1. Read for 20 minutes
2. Bring in picture of yourself (no more than 8cm by 8cm)
3. Sock Drive tomorrow
