Book Club- Respect the Wind

Posted November 16, 2011 By jzraskin@gmail.com

This post is from Elena, in her own words.

We talked about weather in the book club, mine was “Respect the winds”. I didn’t know that is a true story or not. It was about “Maui” who made a kite. And there is the keeper of the wind. There are bottles, sometime there is a strong wind, soft wind misty wind. There are lots bottles. She knows which is which.

What do you think about the story?

Good. Because you know, there is a lot of kinds of Cinderella story but this is like a story from their brain, they don’t just copy.

Snowflakes

Posted November 16, 2011 By jzraskin@gmail.com

Today’s post is from Airi, in her own words…

In 2R we read a book called Snowflake Bentley. There was a boy that liked snowflakes and when the boy got bigger he drawed lots of snowflakes. And there was lots of kinds of snowflakes. 2R made some snowflakes and we put it at the window.

What did you learn about snowflakes?

There’s three or six branches at the corner.

Lots of snowflakes.

Weather

Posted November 2, 2011 By jzraskin@gmail.com

Today’s post is from Ellie, in her own words.

We went to the weather observatory a couple of weeks ago. We found out about different clouds, what weather different clouds can make.

What have we been doing this week about weather?

We listed some measurement tools that you can use for weather too. We learned about snowflake Bentley, who was very interested in snowflakes. No snowflakes can be ever the same. And I learned that if you count from the lightning until the thunder comes you know how far it is by miles by my book club book, Thundercake.

I learned a lot about weather from my book club books.

So many visitors to 2R…

Posted October 6, 2011 By jzraskin@gmail.com

The past few weeks have seen so many visitors come to 2R to enrich our classroom life. I felt it was time to do a quick photo-summary of some of these interactions with our community, and to share our great learning experiences!

Comics About our Tooth Experiment

Posted September 28, 2011 By jzraskin@gmail.com

Today’s post is from Yo, in her words!

First when we played I was the dentist and I was a little shy. I looked at Braden’s tooth and I draw the colour. Next Braden was the dentist and I eat a tablet. At first I thought it was so yucky but it was so sweet.

How were your teeth?

No! I have only one plaque!

What about the comic?

I make everyone know what the dentist experiment was. I tell the story of doing the dentist and doing the patient. I was so happy!
