Loose Parts
*I can grow my well-being through positive relationships built on communication, collaboration, empathy, and respect.
What is love? What are the things that you love the most? If we could see inside your heart, what would we find there? We examined these questions in our class through the Map of My Heart loose-parts designs. In "My Map Book," Finelli inspires us to think about maps in a whole new way with wonderful images of maps, including “A Map of My Dog,” “A Map of My Day,” “A Map of My Stomach,” and yes, “A Map of My Heart.” Check out our loose-parts heart maps below.
Social Studies
*I can identify the cultural characteristics of groups and communities.
This week we learned about the Lunar New Year. Have your child share 3 facts they learned.
Puppetry Residency
*I can create imaginative dramatizations and representations.
Grade 2 students and teachers were excited to begin their work with WP Puppet Theatre this week. Students began creating puppets using various materials based on anchor texts selected by classroom teachers around well-being outcomes from the Curriculum. Thank you to our amazing Andrew Sibbald Parent Association for covering the cost of this learning experience. We look forward to exploring this text in greater depth in the coming weeks.
Math
*I can grow my well-being through positive relationships built on communication, collaboration, empathy, and respect.
This week we explored group work math tasks. All groups were given bags of Valentine's candies. Groups worked together to estimate, count, represent numbers, identify even/odd numbers, identify more/less than a given number, create a bar graph, and a line plot, and then use this information to analyze their data. Students assessed themselves as partners using the rubric below. Ask your child to share what they enjoyed and any challenges they experienced working as a group.
*I can select a variety of strategies to show addition with multiple addends,
Mrs. Gordon our Math Learning Leader has come up with some fun, engaging, math tasks for us. Check out our tasks below. Ask your child which path they took and how close they got to 20 of 100. What animals did they see?
Have a wonderful weekend.
