We had a special event today! Kayleigh's dad came in and taught all of the second graders about Australia! (Also known as the Land Down Under). He has actually been to Australia two times! He showed us all kinds of pictures that he took himself of the places we have been learning about, including Uluru! He taught us that you really aren't supposed to climb Uluru, its a sacred place for the Aborigines. Did you know that the Wiggles come from Australia? Did you know that there are almost 23 million people who live there, and 226 different languages? We are practically experts now!Also today, we also learned the letter "v" in cursive. We have also been learning about fractions. Today we used counters to make equal groups out of different numbers of the counters. In the LMC we finally finished recording our Australia commercials. We can't wait to see them!
See you tomorrow!

Madison's quiz question: What are the native people of Australia called?
Mrs. Kenney is wondering if any of the students in 2-2 will finish reading all of the Dryden Dolphin Book Award Books.
ReplyDeleteMadison! That is pretty cool that the Wiggles come from Australia. Is there anybody else famous that does?
