Dear Parents,
This week found students tuning into our new unit How We Organize Ourselves.The central idea: People work together to transform foods and goods needed.
Students observed and recorded what they see, think and wonder about when looking at these items in the walk-in gallery. View picture below.
For Math Students collected data on where they shop for groceries. They then used the data to draw bar graphs in groups. Students did some activities on nonstandard measurement e.g how many finger spaces, how many steps long is the carpet. They also estimate lengths of items then students used their rulers to measure the actual lengths of items with a ruler. It was interesting to see how they handeled the rulers to do their measurements.
This week in Literature students looked at what good readers do. Our focus point for this week was good readers make predictions. For the past weeks, we have been reading Charlotte's Web as our class reader. We have read up to Chapter 8. Students were asked to write what they thought would happen in the next chapter by making predictions. Students referred to the previous chapters as a guide in writing a realistic story, using the same character etc.
A friendly reminder that International day is soon approaching (10th of November) Grade 2 is representing our Neighbouring country Botswana. Please make time to go onto our Lino platform that was created for you to add your thoughts and ideas for International day.
The grade 2 teachers will summarize all your ideas and thoughts, then give feedback after the break on the way forward.
