Colour Scavenger Hunt

To start off our new unit “A Colour Perspective”, Grade 2 participated in a Colour Scavenger Hunt in the classroom.  Together with a partner, they searched high and low for examples of their assigned colour - red, orange, yellow, blue, or green.  The green team even managed to spot my rain boot!  One of the main aims of the activity was to view the classroom through a new or “colour” perspective.  For example, blocks normally seen as numbers became bright colours instead.  Grade 2 also came to realize that colour is everywhere, especially if you look for it.  Afterwards, they wrote about the scavenger hunt in their Writing Journals.
On a sad note, Grade 2 said good-bye to Ms. Zeender last Friday.  The class celebrated her hard work with a trip to the park and some delicious treats.  The class also took some time to share their favorite memories from the beginning of the school year and present a card they had all decorated.

Kind Regards,
Ms. Christine Aberley
