2C at HCS

We are a Grade 2 class located in Airdrie, AB, Canada. Curious inquirers looking to connect and collaborate with other classes around the world.

We are exploring colour techniques. Today we worked on changing the hue or shade of a colour. We made some beautiful and unique shades. #rvsed #abed @heronscrossing

We have been working hard to create research Qs to ask our community contacts all around Canada. Here’s what we came up with. Ms. Csak is so impressed with how we are connecting our indigenous exploration to other parts of Canada. @heronscrossing #abed #rvsed

We love this quote from Lettie while discussing the importance of creating our own research Qs. Today we started brainstorming Qs we are #curious to ask the contacts we have made in different CDN communities. @heronscrossing #rvsed #abed #inquiry

Our first dive into research and we did great! We drew pictures and wrote words about interesting things we saw while watching videos about our indigenous culture. @heronscrossing #rvsed #abed

We’re back! It’s not quite the normal way to return from winter break. However it was sure great to see all these faces not once, but twice today! @heronscrossing #rvsed #abed

So this happened, not sure how! We won the Golden Trash Can. We aren’t the tidiest group in the world and that’s okay in our books, but we’ll take it! 🤷🏻‍♀️👍😆

Filling our bucket by delivering Christmas cards to homes in the neighbourhood! #rvsed #abed @heronscrossing

Place value math games for the last week of school! @heronscrossing #rvsnumeracy #rvsed #abed

Keeping a Xmas tradition alive from Ms. Csak’s days at Prairie Waters. 2C’s production line of cards ready to deliver to the neighbourhood. Ready to spread some Christmas cheer! Covid rules have been followed. @heronscrossing #abed #rvsed

[2C at HCS @Grade2Csak]

We wrapped up our exploration of line in art by creating these amazing bookmarks. They turned out beautifully! #christmaspresents #rvsed #abed @heronscrossing

We try to get to the reserve at least once a week. Today was the perfect day for our walk. #rvsed #abed @heronscrossing

Today was Magnet-a-Palooza! Thx @andreacraigie for coining the day! Check out our site below to see pics of the morning. We had a blast! @heronscrossing #rvsed #abed https://t.co/9tBnmdee56

[2C at HCS @Grade2Csak]

Looking forward to starting this tomorrow! Kiddos and adults, you could try these activities at home too!!

Today is my favourite math day of the year! The @nrichmaths advent calendar is released! 24 ready to go, easy to implement rich tasks for kids to play with math for all December! This year has lots of digital tools built in! Gr 1-6! https://t.co/sbTQn0oMh6 #rvsnumeracy #rvsed

The best kind of mess in 2C. Using our materials responsibly to create our magnet games. Amazing to see these little humans use each other’s feedback & problem solve through difficult moments like champs. Tomorrow we test & reflect! @heronscrossing #rvsed #abed #ibdesigncycle

[2C at HCS @Grade2Csak]

What story lives in this material? We are starting to explore personal narratives & descriptive techniques. We used clay to create an object. We brainstormed writing ideas that connect to our objects. @heronscrossing #rvsed #abed #rvslit

[2C at HCS @Grade2Csak]

We are designers in 2C. We are using the #IBdesigncycle to create a game that uses magnets and incorporates our knowledge of magnetism. Some great ideas came from our conversation about who would use this cycle and why. @heronscrossing #rvsed #abed

[2C at HCS @Grade2Csak]

We are beginning to work more collaboratively, so it was important for us to discuss what it means to be an effective communicator. We will use this wall as guide to help build our collaborative skills throughout the year. @heronscrossing #abed #rvsed

Effective Nov 2, children under 18 with no known exposure to #COVID19AB don’t have to isolate if they have a runny nose or sore throat, but should stay home. Anyone with a cough, fever or shortness of breath still has to isolate for at least 10 days.

We may not have won the door decorating contest, but we sure had fun celebrating Halloween. We made Picasso witches and we ate candy...all the candy! #abed #rvsed @heronscrossing

[2C at HCS @Grade2Csak]

We used the book The Colour Monster to explore big feelings. Using #doodlesandscribbles on YouTube, we created our own colour monsters ~ proud of how principled these littles are w/ tech & how competent they’re becoming. Their monsters are amazing! #rvsed #abed #heronscrossing
