100 Day

The Grade One and Two classes joined up on Tuesday, February 28th to celebrate the 100th day of school this year.  The IPad app called Aging Booth was a big hit to help us imagine what we will look like when we are 100 years old!

Our Smartboard and the one in the Grade One room were both in use to work on 100 charts.









 A 100 snack was counted out with 10 groups of 10 foods. That was a popular station!

Stacking 100 cups and making groups of 5, 10, 20 and 25 were educational and knocking them down was fun!











Thanks to our visitors who took time to join in the morning and help us celebrate the day!

Friction in Science Class

The Grade twos experimented with different materials on inclined planes today to help learn about fiction.  

The pictures below show the scientists in progress. 

 The students also tried shaving cream and oil on their ramps!  Ask them about their results.

Happy 50 Day!

It's hard to believe we've been at school for 50 Days already!  Today was a day of fun and counting in Grade Two!  We started the day with skip counting to 50 by 2's, 5's and 10's and then also by 4's, 7's and even 20's.  Counting to 50 in 50's didn't take long!  We figured out that the kids in our class will turn 50 years old in the years 2055 or 2056!

The students were challenged to create a recipe with 5 ingredients that totalled 50 items.  Then they had to make another recipe, in case there wasn't enough to make their first idea.  Students did a great job partitioning the number 50 into smaller units.

Happy 50 Day!
