Day 89
On Wednesday our Grade Two students began their Reconciliation lessons in Religion class.
They were given this lovely book as a working resource.
The first page will have to be filled out with information from home.
Next week, I will send a photocopy of this page home for parents to fill out.
The students will not have to draw the picture as they will simply transfer the information into their book in class.
Working to "spiff up" the cover.
"I like my frame!"
We like it too!
A full colouring job!
Looks colourful, for sure!
"How do you like my cover?"
We love it!
A rainbow frame.
Looks beautiful.
Another proud pupil.

Thursday we listened to a Michael Mitchell song.
It's his version of the old standard called...

Today was an interesting day at school. Some 74 school children were absent throughout the whole school not to mention the many who had to leave throughout the day. Whatever bug is going around sure is a powerful one. In fact, this evening when I was speaking at church I suddenly felt something coming on real quick...so it's off to bed right after I write this blog entry.
Today we estimated and measured different items from the ones we measured last week.
We also changed our non-standard unit of measure.
Last week it was a paper clip.
Today we used scissors and we measured some items of longer length.
The children liked taking turns to be the dedicated partner for the different measuring activities while their classmates watched on.
We once again learned that the longer the length, the more difficult it is to get a close estimate.
But the smiles abound.
With lots of discussion as well.
In fact two of our items we measured were the same ones we had checked in on last week.
We learned that the carpet library measures less scissor lengths than paper clip lengths.
Therefore, the concept the children realized was that if you use a shorter unit, then you will need many more of them...and you will get a larger number. If you use a longer unit of measure then you won't need as many and your measurement amount will be smaller.
The children were very careful while holding the scissors.
They kept their unit of measure very still while their buddy moved his.
And vice-versa.
The girls must have phoned themselves before they came to school.
So they could wear the same colours! Hehehe!
Indeed, measuring sure is fun!
Off to an early bed to try to keep those flu bugs at bay!
Day 88
Day 88
Yup, the CBC radio mentioned early in the AM that all buses were cancelled "everywhere"!
That means a handful of students and a little break for the teachers, in particular this one who was nursing his tummy back into shape! Hehehe.
