Time Capsules

Hello,

Thanks so much to everyone that signed up for e-mail updates from the blog. I hope your kids enjoyed their first day!

This morning, we finished our Math Inquiry problem and shared our strategies and solutions.

The question was:

Miro had 98 stickers on Day 1 and 93 stickers on Day 2. If this pattern continues, on what day will he have exactly 63 stickers.

Next, we went to the gym and went over the rules for safe play in the gym and played some cooperative games.

During second block, we read a story about a growing sunflower and made predictions about how we will change and grow during the year.

The students started to work on a time capsule activity, where they talked about their feelings about going into Grade 3, predictions about how much they will grow, and a letter to their future selves. We will be opening the time capsules on the last day of the school year, so the students can reflect on their year.

Finally, we had an assembly, where the students met Mrs. Campbell.

Everyone who wants to place an order for the BBQ next week needs to send their form and their cheque into the school on Thursday. Thanks so much.

Have a wonderful evening.

Mr. Skinner
