Today was our Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs Day! After a month of hard work, students were very excited to share their completed Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs stories with the Kindergarten class. They wrapped up this project with a book release P-A-R-T-Y!!

Today was Crazy Sock Day in recognition of World Down Syndrome Day.
The end of our CWACOMB month is near! Today, students took their final draft from the publisher and used their editing skills to hunt for errors and make changes.
In Math, we completed our basic fact focus on Doubles. Students are encouraged to continue working on their basic facts at home. This can be done through games, flash cards, oral quizzing or xtraMath. Continued nightly practice of basic facts, with rote memorization, will aid students when working through the more complex Math Addition questions. Students have been hard at work on addition to 100 (with and without regrouping), we are looking forward to completing this unit this week.

In our exploration of the early days in Iqaluit we learned that the Inuit people lived in igloos, made of snow blocks, during the winter, and in animal hide tents during the summer. Today the Grade 2 students created Igloos.
Enjoy your long weekend!

Today we launched our Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs (CWACOMB) unit!! Students named their communities and began writing bold beginnings. The focus of this unit is adding juicy details and editing (self and peer). After today's writing session, students shared with a buddy and hunted for errors.
Have you ever wondered with it look like in the middle of a math class? Well, today I snapped a pic for all to see! We are working hard on adding numbers to 100 using both the algorithm method (stack it) and manipulatives. Ask your child to add any two 2-digit numbers tonight (Grade 1s - no regrouping); I think you'll be amazed!!
