This Week in Learning

Writing a Class Song
We started working on a class song this week. Students are still brainstorming ideas for us to write a song about. We're hoping to write a song that inspires community and belonging. 

Inquiry
Insect Google Slides

This week we created a rubric together so that we all understand and can refer to the expectations of our Insect Slide Show. Student also continued work on their slides, creating slides to show their insect lifecycle and discuss if their insect is helpful or harmful in Alberta. 


  




Math
Patterns and Mental Math

This week we continued with repeating and growing patterns. 



Mental Math

As well, we explicitly talked about and practiced some mental math strategies, such as Subitizing and Compensation. Below you will find an article on Subitizing and a video on Compensation. It should be noted that we started compensation with much smaller numbers than shown in the video.



Dance
Students started their dance residency this week. They will have 6 total sessions with their dance instructors. On the last week, parents are invited to come watch all the grade 2's show what they have learned. We hope to see you there!

Mr. Sandberg and Mrs. Craig's class will have the opportunity to PREVIEW the book fair this Tuesday. On Thursday evening and Friday morning, families and students will be able to visit the book fair and make purchases.
