In writing this week students have been writing about their painting of Flander's Field from last week. They are working on using the 5 senses to add descriptive words to their writing. 
In math we continued working on problem solving. We tried a new problem where we had to figure out how many candies there where if there where 3 bags of skittles with 4 candies and 2 boxes of smarties with 8 candies. During our class discussion around the problem we reviewed how to identify the important information in a problem and how to use the strategies to prove our answer.
This week we had our last session with our artist in residence. We worked on transparent paper and used sharpie to outline the tall builds we see in downtown. Then we applied paint to help 1-3 buildings/trees/transportation to stand out. Ask me about what building/trees/transportation I decided to keep or parts I decided not to keep and why?
This week in inquiry we researched the different types of jobs people had in the past. In our research we had to identify the who, what, when, where, and why. Ask me about the job I researched and something I learned?
1) Glenbow Museum field trip forms: went home today. The grade 2’s from Ms. MacDonald’s and Mrs. Cooks (Ms. Boston) classes have an amazing opportunity to spend November 29th at the Glenbow Museum. To have a successful trip please ensure that you pay $13.32 through your Power School account and return your child's from by Monday, November 19, 2018. Also we are in need of 4 parent volunteers in each class. If you are available, please notify your child’s teachers. As a parent volunteer, the CBE requires a police clearance; if you do not have this document, we regret that you will not be able to come at this time. If you would like to volunteer in the future, please visit the office with your photo identification and ask for a volunteer clearance form.
