Learning adventures in a Grade 2 French Immersion classroom
We wrap up our measurement unit this month. This week, we practiced measuring length (la longueur) with non-standard units of our own choosing.
Students learned that they need to use multiple copies of the units for the measurement to be accurate. For example, if choosing markers as a non-standard measurement unit, they needed to use the same markers.
Students were asked to first estimate the length of a given object and then measure it out. It’s been a fun math activity!
Division 10 students worked well as a group in completing this door decoration.
They designed it themselves and completed parts individually. It all came together in only two days!
We’re participating in a school-wide door decorating contest this week – as part of Literacy Week.
Division 10 has been practicing to read well with a partner. After the holiday break, we’ve needed to review basic rules such as sitting next each other or choosing one book to read together.
During these sessions, students practice important life skills like turn-taking, listening, making compromises, encouraging others, and even teaching.
Students practiced some metacognition today. We discussed the various core competencies that we use at school every day: communication, thinking (creative and critical), personal and social responsibility.
From the Ministry of Education website:
The Core Competencies are sets of intellectual, personal, and social and emotional proficiencies that all students need in order to engage in deep, lifelong learning.
Students worked in groups, studying photos taken since September. In making our learning visible, we realized just how much we do at school!
