Weekly learning  (March 9th - March 13th)

- We worked on our descriptive writing this week, trying to make our writing more interesting

- In math we began looking at and reviewing 2-d shapes through fun trivia games and flip books
- We built our Boats this week, take a look through the weeks posts for pictures, most of us have successful boats that float, hold weight, are stable with a keel, and can move through the water
- We continued to learn about Inuit people and their culture. We researched how inuits lived in the early days and how Igloos worked to keep them warm and how the built them
- We had a very awesome opportunity to explore authentic Inuit artifacts and see tools they would have used to make an Igloo as well as other tools and traditional clothing they wear
- During the week we got to spend time with our buddies and start to make Shamrock sun catchers, see pictures during the weeks post

Looking forward in Grade 2
- We will finish up with our boats next week by racing them against each other
- In Social we will be exploring what School is like in Iqaluit and we will explore Inuksuks and their meanings, we will construct our own Inuksuks (Please remember to send in a bag of rocks with your child for Monday, letter was sent Home Yesterday)
- We will be creating some Ted Harrison inspired Arctic Art to show the Northern Lights
- In Math we will continue working with 2-d shapes and begin to explore 3-d shapes
- For St.Patricks day we will have some fun with that on Tuesday; looking at why we are lucky and how we can catch that tricky Leprechaun 😀
- We will continue working on descriptive writing to enhance our writing next week as well
