Happy Pancake Day!!!

Language:

Today we read the story The Little Pea and discussed what it means to be a balanced learner. Students then completed a page about how they are balanced learners for their IB portfolios.

Calendar: the special helper puts up the date, adds to our weather graph, and counts days at school.

Math:
Students in grade 1 - 

worked on our measuring the area of different objects using non  standard units such as a piece of paper.
We also worked on deciding which non-standard unit to use to measure different items. Ex. paper clip vs a straw for measuring a foot. Which one would be better and why?

Students in grade 2 -

Learned about a meter stick and the difference between a ruler and a meter stick. We also discussed when we would use a meter stick and when we would use a ruler.
