This morning we began our day by watching a video showing images of all the different regions of Alberta (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ThFCg0tBDck). We had to identify all the regions we saw, why the film makers choose these images and what is important to us about Alberta. We decided it showcased the Rocky Mountains because it is so beautiful and people travel from all over the world to visit them.
In writing we learned about the Parkland Region and created a page with all the important information about this region. It will be important to learn these things because later we will be required to persuade someone which region they should live in. We finished up 3 and 4 digit addition and subtraction. We focused on regrouping and borrowing. Students need to be aware of what operation they are using. This will be important as we study the population of different towns and cities in Alberta. Mrs. Otterson was an audience member after the students learned the song "Bundle Up" with choreography. Students came up with the choreography themselves. Ask me to sing the song for you :) We warmed up with a game of "British Bulldog" and then we practiced our volleyball skills. At the end of class we had to roll up our sleeves to see where we were bumping the ball. You could tell if you were hitting it in the right place if your arms were red. In today's chapter of the "Secret Garden" one of the main characters, Colin, was so angry that he stood up out of his wheel chair. This was quite shocking for us because up until this point in the book everyone thought he was a hunchback and not very smart. Boy did he prove us wrong! We also discovered that Ben, one of the gardeners, had been going into the garden using a ladder. Lastly, our grade 2 buddies came for a visit. We showed them how to log into the computer, and access their IRIS account. We helped them type their goals and strategies. We will help enter an artifact another time. Reminders: Field trip forms. Scholastic is due on Monday (cheques). Tomorrow is a half day. Please book your conference for Nov 24 - 25.
