Today in grade 2B we learned a lot about Remembrance Day in Canada and why people wear poppies. We learned that long ago there was a war and many people fought in the war so that we could live in a free and peaceful place.
Students also discussed peace. What is peace, why do we want it, and is everywhere peaceful? Students did a Remembrance Day activity and they also did an activity using their 5 senses to describe what they think peace is.
Along with Mandarin and Art Enrichment students also did an activity to practice writing proper sentences in parts and adding details. We used the categories: describing word (adjective), who or what? (noun), did what? (verb), where? and when?
These categories will continue to be used to help students remember the different parts they must practice adding to their sentences when writing.
Finally we ended our day with Physical Education and continued to develop our gross motor skills and hand-eye coordination through throwing and catching activities.
Hope you all have a great evening filled with Pepero! ^^
