Students in grade 1 - learned what estimating is (guessing how much a set amount of objects is), and then put these skills into practise.

Students in grade 2 - continued using doubles to solve addition questions, and moved on to estimating/grouping with skip counting by 10s. Students who did not finish their work in class brought it home for homework.

Unit of inquiry:

Today students worked on their summative assessment - they finished the rough copy template started to complete the good copy booklet. Good copy is due by end of class tomorrow, students will be presenting their projects to the class on Friday. 

Language: As a class we practiced adding detail to sentences. I was hoping to get details about flowers or apples but as you can see our thinking went into a different direction = $

Students in grade one: learned the difference between asking and telling sentences. We then completed a worksheet where we had to fill in either a ! or . for an asking sentence and a ? for a telling sentence. Once this was completed students continued to work on their final summative projects.

Students in grade two: Today students worked on their summative assessment - they finished the rough copy template started to complete the good copy booklet.
