Thank you to our lovely Parent Association for the awesome Stampede pancake breakfast! There were lots of Yee-haws, delicious pancakes and a ton of sticky smiles!
And as promised...our finished Healthy Humans!!!
June 8th - 12th
Learning Intention:
- students examine how growth is affected by variables
I Can:
- recognize how factors such as healthy eating, hydration, rest, and exercise affect healthy physical and emotional growth
- recognize how factors such as healthy eating, hydration, rest, and exercise affect healthy physical and emotional growth
Over the past couple of weeks, we have been talking about well-being and learning about healthy habits that can help both our bodies and minds grow strong. We have learned that staying active, eating nutritious food, drinking enough water, getting enough rest, and taking care of our mental health all contribute to our physical and emotional well-being. Students have been working very hard on designing their own “Healthy Human” poster to show a variety of healthy habits as a reminder of the different things that we can ALL do to support and better our own well-being. Stay tuned for photos of our completed 'Healthy Humans' soon!
June 1st - 5th
Learning Intentions:
- students interpret part-whole relationships with unit fractions
I Can:
- model a unit fraction by partitioning a whole object or whole set into equal parts, limited to 10 or fewer parts
- compare different unit fractions of the same and different wholes, limited to denominators of 10 or less
- model one whole, using a given fraction, limited to denominators of 10 or less
This week we had lots of fun exploring and learning about fractions. In Grade 2, students develop an understanding of fractions as equal parts of a whole. They learn to identify, represent, and describe common fractions such as one-half, one-third, and one-fourth using pictures, objects, and everyday contexts. Students explore how a whole can be divided into equal parts and recognize that the more parts a whole is divided into, the smaller each part becomes. Through hands-on activities, drawing, and problem-solving, they build their understanding of fractions and begin to use mathematical language to explain their thinking. These experiences help students develop a strong foundation for more advanced fraction concepts in later grades. Ask your child to share their understanding of fractions with you and tell you about some of our fraction activities from this week!
