Highlights Students really enjoyed Pajama Day yesterday. The three classes came together for stories in each of the different Grade 1/2 classrooms displaying a real sense of BELONGING.

We found it interesting that women were in charge of making tipis and that they rubbed animal brains into the bison hides to protect the tipi from the elements. Our focus in math this week was subitizing. We will move this concept into building mental math strategies for addition.
