What a fun way to end the school year. "The Ms. Woodruff Cooking Show - Sundae Addition". I was one lucky teacher to be able to spend my year learning alongside an amazing group of Grade 2 students. The future looks bright with them in it! @GEVSchool

A few 2W Ss representing @GEVSchool with their school spirit wear. Looks great!

[Meghan Woodruff @Ms__M__Woodruff]

Thank you @k_robillard for sharing this awesome website with us. Ss enjoyed creating and sharing their art/music Kandinsky creations.

Thank you @cobrasLS for inspiring us to create our own "fair" and "unfair" spinner. Demonstrating our understanding of probability using @PearsonMatholo1 tools. @GEVSchool

[cindy loop snyder @cobrasLS]

Minds on probability. Building a probability line as we learn. Mya had a great idea for likely or probable. @Ms__M__Woodruff @GEVSchool

We love using the Mathology stories and Virtual Manipulatives to extend our learning. This was a great resource to discuss balancing equations in real life contexts. We were able to share our thinking and connect to everything we have been learning in class. @GEVSchool

Last week to Celebrate Eid we did a cooking class. Students were encouraged to bring a variety of ingredients to class they they could put together to make a healthy and delicious salad! @GEVSchool

[Meghan Woodruff @Ms__M__Woodruff]

Our 3 Act Math Lesson got us thinking about fractions, multiplication and arrays. Students made great observations, had excellent wonders and were incredible problem solvers. @GEVSchool

Everyday is Earth Day! 2W Eco Fashion Show was a success. @GEVSchool

[Meghan Woodruff @Ms__M__Woodruff]

We've been discussing single use plastics in our class. Students were encouraged to find materials around their homes that they no longer used, were in the recycle or on their way to the garbage. They used these materials to create something beautiful. Eco Fashion! @GEVSchool

[Meghan Woodruff @Ms__M__Woodruff]

Today we tried to find the missing variable in a variety of equations. We used a number line and hundreds chart to help us. @GEVSchool

[Meghan Woodruff @Ms__M__Woodruff]

Today in Science we investigated water as a solid. We looked at ice, touched ice, smelled and tasted ice. We recorded different ways we can describe water as a solid. Hands on learning is the best! @GEVSchool

[Meghan Woodruff @Ms__M__Woodruff]

On Friday we learned about "Pop Art" and the amazing artist Andy Warhol. We created our own Doughnut Pop Art. I don't know about you, but these make me hungry! @GEVSchool

[Meghan Woodruff @Ms__M__Woodruff]

Just because we are virtual, doesn't mean we can't find time to get creative and make the special women in our lives a gift! Happy Almost Mother's Day! @GEVSchool

[Meghan Woodruff @Ms__M__Woodruff]

Ss have been working on balancing equations. We put our knowledge to the test with a paper pencil tasks, boom cards, and a fun Toy Theatre game. @GEVSchool

[Meghan Woodruff @Ms__M__Woodruff]

Yesterday we used Mathology and virtual manipulatives to introduce balancing equations. Students had to determine what needed to be added to or subtracted from each expression to make them equivalent.

[cindy loop snyder @cobrasLS]

Here's how we saw it: counting one one twelfth, two one-twelfth.... twelve one-twelfths wait a minute says Jackson.... "that's a half!" Boom!! " so 6 out of 12 is half!" @Ms__M__Woodruff @GEVSchool @lehmaniler @MathletePearce

[cindy loop snyder @cobrasLS]

@Ms__M__Woodruff comparing equivalent fractions. Prove that two one-fourths is the same as one half.
Challenge: Can you prove one third is the same as two sixths? @GEVSchool @onychayounan @FaroughMs

[Meghan Woodruff @Ms__M__Woodruff]

Proud teacher moment. I have to share a few more of these awesome Social Studies projects. @GEVSchool

[Meghan Woodruff @Ms__M__Woodruff]

Ss researched, created and presented these AMAZING Social Studies projects. I sometimes wonder... are these students actually only in Grade 2? Some made posters, books, videos, and even PowerPoints to share the information they gathered. @GEVSchool
