ADST- Applied Design, Skills and Technology

In school we do a lot of inquiry work where the kids are given a problem and have to find a creative way to solve the problem. The marble maze is an example of a class activity that falls under the ADST curriculum.

When watching the news recently, I saw this clip from BBC world news.
Kenyan hand washing station

A boy in Kenya created a hands-free hand washing station to minimize the spread of COVID. I immediately thought of the ADST piece of our curriculum and why it is so important. Finding creative solutions to problems will always be needed and finding opportunities to practice these thinking and creative skills are valuable.

Learning letters: Sharing Learning Due: Tuesday May 19th.

Instead of keeping the detailed instructions for the Learning Letters here on the blog, I have created this PDF " How- to"  document for the Learning Letters. The link is also in the weekly plan and the detailed instructions for the learning activities.

Our First Full Week!

  Literacy We have started our class learning routines and activities this week. The children are practicing reading on our own. They find a spot to sit in class and put a mat down. The children pick 2-3 books that they practice reading several times.  To practice reading the children are: getting their mouth ready to say the letter sound rereading new words to blend the letter sounds together e.g. R-o-s-ie becomes Ro-sie then Rosie checking that the words that they say make sense in the story. If there are more than 2 words on a page that they do not know, then they should change their book for something that is easier and still provides a challenge.  The blue bins, pictured on the bottom shelf, are activities that support oral language, sight word recognition and spelling. Each table gets a bin after snack and works at the activity. Each day they have a different activity.  Out literacy centres Math We have been using Cuisinaire Rods to create number trains. The children started the

Art Cards, Science and Social Studies

Art Cards We have started out Art Cards! Social Studies and Health One of the Big Ideas, a focus, for grade 2 is the diverse regions of Canada. As a beginning  to this unit we made a map of the school grounds. We then looked at Canada using google maps and zoomed in to our school. We were able to compare our map with what we saw on the screen.  Over the school year we will be looking in more detail at different regions of Canada. Over the next few weeks we will be talking about the food we grow on the Island. This will lead to conversations and comparisons with the prairies, what grows on the prairies, the animals and geography of that region of Canada.  As we are talking about food, we will be reading and retelling the story of La petite poule rousse. (The Little Red Hen). We will also be talking about healthy foods vs snack and treat food.   As we approach Halloween could you please limit candy to 1 item per day if that is your practice to include candy in your child's lunch.
