After reviewing how to find our way using a compass, students embarked on their journey to Iqaluit! Each student was given a boarding pass, together we loaded the plane, and watched the below video showing a pre-flight, take off, and landing of a plane! Students determined that Iqaluit is Northeast of Calgary and tomorrow we're explore how the geography is different based on it's location! Students had so much fun with their make believe trip, ask them about it tonight! Students are working more closely with the diagraph "th" today. "T" and "H" do not say their usual sounds when paired together, making it an interesting combination to learn about. Practice brainstorm "th" words with your student tonight! In math, grade 2s practiced further on measuring the distance around an object. Students were introduced to measuring non-rectangular shapes like triangles and creating addition sentences to find the total distance. Students can practice measuring distance with pretty much any object or hand drawn shape: Grade 1s practiced finding less. Students learned that less is simply the opposite of more! When we find more, we want to find a bigger number. When we find less, we want to find a small number. Students can practice finding less using a hand drawn number at home!
