Day 2 of Grade 2! This morning students participated in some oral French centered around our daily calendar. They also responded to the question of what their favorite fruit was. All students answered in French, in a complete sentence. Following recess, we graphed the results of the most popular and least popular fruits. This is leading into our first unit in Math-graphing. We talked about the purpose of graphs and how to read information on our graph. Can you guess what was the most popular fruit? Ask your child :)
Also in math, students practiced writing numbers in French. Working in small groups, one person was the "teacher" and said the name of a number and the "students" had to write the correct number on their whiteboards. Each student in Room 8 has their own whiteboard, marker and eraser, which they keep in their desk. Next students played a Bingo game to practice their French oral language skills and to get to know one another.
After lunch, students were given the task of building the tallest structure using toothpicks and marshmallows. We discussed their results and looked at why some structures were more stable than others. Students also participated in gym class with M. Trevor and finished the day with centers.
