We started off the day today with our weekly spelling test. The children are all bringing home their marked spelling tests with them tonight. During language the children continued working on nouns. We had a discussion of what a noun is (person, place or thing), reviewed their role in a sentence, and discussed how to turn singular nouns into plural nouns. Test your child's knowledge tonight! In our unit of inquiry the children continued their discussions of living and non-living things. We reviewed the definitions from yesterday and compared and contrasted them. We also began discussing three major groups of living things (1) mammals (2) reptiles (3) insects. As a class we explored what it means to belong to each of these categories. During math the children worked on counting money, before and after and sums and differences (grade one) and sorted various types of data (grade two) The students also went to French class.
Homework: Read for 15 minutes and record in the reading chart, re-write incorrect spelling words ten times each (including bonus), Jump Math pages 203 - 205 (grade two), complete math worksheet (grade ones) and Cursive pages 211 - 213.
