 I can 

-compare and order different lengths measured with centimetres. 

(Grade 2 Math)

We took advantage of the beautiful spring weather to continue learning about measurement. We spent some time learning how to use a ruler, a tape measure, and a meter stick: make sure the end of the item is at '0' and be precise when determining how long the object is. We practiced our precision then found items in nature of different lengths. Check out your child's home-communication folders and ask them to describe their learning.

I Can:

- understand how natural resources can be transformed into goods to meet needs and wants

- understand that communities and businesses can trade to increase and availability of goods by - buying or importing and selling or exporting

- understand that natural resources and goods are transported and traded across Canada and the world in various ways; for example, by trains, airplanes, trucks, pipelines

(Grade 2 Social Studies)

We continued to learn more about many of Canada's important natural resources and how natural resources impact the jobs that are available to people. We added many natural resources to our Postcard Map and learned about the importance of a 'key' or a 'legend'.

We learned two more new vocabulary words this week: import and export and shared ideas about the resources and items that Canada buys from other countries and the resources and items that Canada sells to other countries.
