Disconnect Challenge - Media Diary starts today

Reminders:

• Disconnect Challenge - Media Diary (Part 1) starts today ... please keep a journal on the yellow pages that were sent home last week. Record why/how you're using media (e.g. for entertainment, learning, communication, etc.) and how much time you're spending on it
• Scholastic Orders are due this Wednesday, February 12th
• Wednesday we will be celebrating Valentine's Day (click here for more information)
• Wednesday is a half day - dismissal/pick-up is at 11:45am
• Thursday/Friday/Monday - no school (Convention and Family Day)

Highlights from our learning today: 

• for word work, we made words out of the letters in VALENTINE, and we got to use the SMARTboard (Drayden)
• in music, we reviewed some things from Grade 1, like do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti-do (Chasity) and we found the name MI-LA (Myles)
• in social studies, we recorded music and dance in our visual journals for the three communities, the North, the Prairies, and the Maritimes (Jaxon)
• in writing, we worked on our alliterations (Alivia)

Here's how we make alliterations. First, we brainstorm words: 

F: fantastic, face, free, flag, funny, Ford F-150, Fortnite, family, foe, friends, feast, freckles, Fred, flip, food, fruit, Freddie, Frank, France, french fries, Frankenstein, five, Ferrari 

Then, we put as many of those words together to make a silly sentence tongue twister alliteration: 

• Friends Frank and Freddie ate funny french fries for food in France.
• Frank was playing Fortnite in his Ford F-150 with his family and friends.
• Frankenstein and Freddie were flipping and flying across the frosty field, free and fun.
