What's New in One and Two? May 18 - 22, 2015

TADPOLES
Our tadpoles are getting bigger each day.  They are eating frozen romaine lettuce (a substitute for algae).  Hopefully we will get some changes before the end of school.  How long it takes depends upon what kind of tadpoles we have, so it is a mystery right now.

FLAT-STANLEY
We had one Flat-Stanley return last week from Ontario.  Hopefully they will start returning soon and we can share their adventures from all across Canada.  I posted photos of the Stanley's being mailed off to their visiting families except I missed one, so here he is -

 
 
MATH
The grade twos have been learning how to add and subtract double digit numbers, with regrouping.  (We used to call it borrowing and carrying when we went to school).  They seem to have caught on to the concept fairly well but could all use some extra practice at home.  We are continuing our measurement unit in grade one math.  Here are some photos of the class finding the area of different objects in our classroom.
 





MOTHER'S DAY PAINTNGS
I wanted to share photos of all the beautiful flower paintings that the children made for Mother's Day.
(Once again, I don't know why they turn out sideways? - sorry)

What's New in One and Two? May 4 - 8, 2015

CLASS PARTY
Our movie/pj's/stuffies/hotdog party on Friday was lots of fun.  Thank you to Owen's family for loaning us the movie and thank you to Andy's mom and Grandma for cooking the hotdogs.


EARTH DAY
We made posters for Earth Day that show ways in which we can help our planet.  We also made the "earth" out of coffee filters painted with blue and green paint.



EGGS to TADPOLES


FLAT-STANLEY
Our Flat people are all made.  We have written a letter and addressed the envelopes.  On Monday, we will be sending them off in the mail for their visits across Canada.  Hopefully in a few weeks they will start to return home to Winnipeg.  As they return, the students will be sharing their flat-person's adventures with the whole class.
