We were busy before the break building and testing our floaters and floats. The students had a great time. I heard one student say, "This is so much fun. I wish we could do this all of the time!"
We are wrapping up our unit on Matter (grade 2) and Structures (grade 3) and will be starting our next social studies units soon. The grade 2's will be comparing a hot community (Zimbabwe) to a cold community (Iqaluit). The grade 3's will be looking at the different types of communities within Ontario.
In Writing, we are continuing to write narratives. Our stories with our names in the title are finished and we will be publishing them later this week. Our next narrative is about something this gets lost.
In Reading, we are working on writing a good retell. We have to include the characters, setting, problem, 3 events (that happen after the problem), the solution and the lesson learned. An example of a retell that we did together is shown below.
In Math, we are working on subtraction with regrouping. For the grade 2's, this is a new concept, so we take it very slowly and step by step. The grade 3's learn to regroup when subtracting 3-digit numbers and will also learn how to make change.
