Math:
Students in grade 1 - began discussing addition and subtraction. We discussed what the meaning of each was. We talked about different ways of adding and ways of subtracting. Students then practised some of these strategies in their math books.
Students in grade 2 - began discussing addition and subtraction. We discussed what the meaning of each was. We talked about different ways of adding and ways of subtracting. Students then practised some of these strategies in their math books.
We looked at borrowing and carrying over and how these methods worked, we also looked at doubt digit addition and subtraction. Students asked if we can try one addition and subtraction with three numbers so we also gave it a go.
Agendas: Students wrote reminders
- Parent teacher interviews Thursday
- Pick a structure write about the materials used to build that structure

Unit of inquiry:
We continued our new UOI on Structures. As a class we discussed definitions of certain words we will be using throughout the unit.
Materials - what a object is made of
Object - a thing
Structure - the support system of the object.
We then looked at a tent and discussed the three definitions
object - the tent
materials - mesh/nylon/string/metal
Structure - poles to pop up the tent
We then looked at the structure of a house and car and discussed different materials used to build these objects.
Language:
Students in grade 1 - Completed the second writing task of the year for the Ontario Writing Assessment.(OWA) This is a pre-assessment to gauge the students' prior knowledge on the writing task. Students worked on writing an Explanation, they were told they woke up yesterday morning, you looked out the window, you saw more snow than you ever seen before! Write a journal re-tell of what you did on your snowy day.
Students in grade 2 - Completed the second writing task of the year for the Ontario Writing Assessment.(OWA) This is a pre-assessment to gauge the students' prior knowledge on the writing task. Students are working on writing an explanation. Students were told they just had invented a super robot. Write an explanation of how your new invention works. Describe the robot, what does it do, and how does it work.
Novel study
students completed a work sheet on telling what they know about Henry Green and how he got Chocolate fever
We also took time today to practice our Christmas concert, please ensure you are practicing speaking loudly and clearly at home. Some students still do not know their part or are whispering it.
Thank you
