JOURNEY TO CHURCHILL!



















Did you know that we are building our learning stamina in EVERY subject???

We are...

...using our mental math strategies to learn our addition and subtraction facts 1-18 JUST LIKE THAT!!!  We are practicing our facts daily at school and in the evenings on the wiki and with parents!
...solving problems with strategies from our math toolbox
 ...touring the town of  Churchill and comparing and contrasting our community with theirs
...researching polar bears and gathering information for our non-fiction class book
...discovering the properties of solids, liquids, and gases
...completing our Printing Power program and checking to see if our letters and numbers are Grade 2 quality!
...writing daily to make sure our work LOOKS right, SOUNDS right, and MAKES SENSE!
...becoming VORACIOUS non-fiction readers! 
...collecting facts by reading, re-reading, and stopping to put important information into our own words
...learning our Kids in the Know safety strategies such as BUDDY SYSTEM, TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS, CODE WORDS and WHEN ASKED TO GO AND YOUR PARENTS DON'T KNOW, SHOUT NO!
Yes indeed, we are doing all this and more because that's THE KIND OF LEARNERS WE ARE!

BE PROUD 2J!
