Dear amazing families,
This week:
* We learned about the penguin's life cycle (egg, chick, fledgling and adult penguin) and the frog life cycle (egg, tadpole, froglet, adult frog).
* In science, we learned about metamorphic and non-metamorphic life cycles. Metamorphic means that during the life cycles the animals will change. An example, is the frog life cycle. When it is a tadpole it has a long tail, no legs and is black. When it is an adult frog it is green, has no tail and has four legs. Non-metamorphic means it doesn't change it just grows bigger. An example is a penguin.
* Today we celebrated S.V.'s birthday. He picked a Robert Munsch book for his story. We will have his birthday gym on Monday (the gym is closed today).
* In gym, we played museum, zombie tag, diamond tag, everybody's it tag, evolution and jewel thief. We also practiced throwing at the targets. At the end of gym we do "calm bodies".
* In the classroom we did "GoNoodle".
* In music, we have been practicing for the winter concert. Did you send in your notice to get your tickets?
* In Social Studies we have been learning about Vietnam's culture. This week we learned about customs, clothing and art.
* For art we made "Reindeer at the Window". The reindeer look like they are trying to get out of the window. You could make them any way you want... they just had to look like reindeer trying to get out the window. We used black, white, brown, blue and red paper. You can see them if you look way up at the window's of our classroom.
* In writing some people have been sharing the books that they have finished. We are also learning some different ways to say words. For example, for scared you could say frightened, terrified, horrified, afraid or spooked. During writing you can write about anything. During the work on write Mrs. Marta meets with us to get our stories to type. We also put strengths and goals in our writing folders.
This week E.B. read a story about Lisa and a tiger. Then Mrs. Marta showed us a picture of her petting a tiger. She was very frightened, petrified and spooked.
* We got postcards from T.N.'s grandpa's cousin in Denmark. We also got a postcard from Taiwan. That is only our second postcard from Asia.
We hope you have a great weekend.
From,
Mrs. Marta's fabulous and incredible grade 2/3 class
