Country Week

Country week is off to a great start! This year we are studying the First Nations people of Manitoba, Canada.  Today the grade 2 and 3s did their workshop on shelter. They painted symbols on the teepee to represent their ideas. 

Last week we had a couple more students read to the class. 

You can see some of the farm costumes in the last picture. Here are some pictures from Milk Carton Creation day. Thank you to everyone that helped bring in materials for this project. We had enough to create our own version of a "silver plated" Eiffel Tower.  It was wonderful seeing the students work together to create this. They all took part in some way. 

Each Friday we Buddy Read with the Grade 3/4 class. Here's our farm day reading buddy pictures. 

This week the Grade 2s are wrapping up a unit on addition and subtraction strategies. They have done such a fabulous job with the last couple of problem solving stories that we were working on. 

Grade 2s are also working on Farm Animals in French. So far we have had a lot of fun acting out the different sounds and movements of the animals. 

Grade 3s are working on Measurement. Today we used meters to measure the length of the school. We forgot to take a picture of the process, but it was an excellent cooperative learning experience. 

This week Friday is Boston Pizza lunch day. 

Looking forward to a great Country Week!
