What’s Going On In… CUBS CORNER January 2019 Mrs. Murray’s Grade One Room Bailee and Kammi Cub reporters Bailee and Kammi got to spend a wonderful day in grade 2 in Mrs. Murray’s class. When we arrived at the classroom the grade twos were doing their blue star quizzes. That is where they do a comprehension quiz on the books they have read. They were also finishing their art which was a beautiful, city scene. They are very artistic students! When they finished their art they read books with each other. As they were finishing up their books, we heard the fuzzy buzz of the Blue Star Bell ringing. This is where, if the students needed a new book or needed to do a blue star quiz, they could go to the library and do so. Following the blue star time, the class went over their calendar. During calendar time the twos talk about how many days of school we have had, how many days we have left and even the weather of the current day! Next is recess, following recess they have reading groups and story time! When working in their work books, you can tell they are very good students and hard workers. The twos were very lucky this day, they had library! They laughed a lot and enjoyed their stories that Mrs. Kuharski read to them. Next up was everyone’s all-time favourite subject, lunch! Some students stayed back in the classroom and others went lunch skating. After lunch the students had gym class. They practiced dribbling a basketball and they were lucky enough to play “What Time is it Mr. Wolf?”. After their workout, they had math. In math, the grade twos were adding with 9 – that’s a tricky topic, but they were doing great! Following math they had recess, story time again and then science! In science, the students are learning about solids, liquids and gases. Mrs. Murray planned a fun activity with them where they surveyed each other about the different states of matter. We sure enjoyed spending the day in Mrs. Murray’s class and hope we can come back soon!

Here are all the simple, cheap ingredients you will need: 2 C., all-purpose flower, 2 TBSP coconut oil – vegetable and baby oil will work too, ½ C. salt, 2 TBSP cream of tartar, 1 to 1 ½ C. boiling water and food colouring is optional. Here is the method: Mix the flour, salt, tartar and oil in a large mixing bowl. Add the boiling water and mix together. Stir continuously until it is a sticky mixture. Allow it to cool and take it out of the bowl and knead for a couple of minutes until all of the stickiness has gone. If it remains a little sticky then add a touch more flour. Voila! You’ve got the best playdoh in town. It should take about ten minutes to make and lasts about 6 months if you take care of it properly. To do this, you need to keep it in a plastic bag with no air and play with it often. Have fun making this crazy concoction! We hope you enjoy!

What do you know about the Philippines? The Philippines is a southeastern country located in the Western Pacific. The Philippine’s population is over 107 668 231 people! The Philippines is know for its many beautiful islands! The capital of the Philippines is Manila and the current President is RodigoDuterte. In the Philippine’s history there was a hero named Jose Rizal. He was a nationalist and a polymath. A polymath is a person who has lots of knowledge about many things. Sadly, he was executed by a Spanish colonial government for the crime of rebellion. Today, Jose Rizal’s statue can be found in Rizal Park in honor of him. There are many traditions in the Philippines. One of the traditions is that kids are taught to respect their elders. They are taught to say ‘opo’ and ‘po’ to show their grandparents and older people respect. They also have a greeting to show honor to their grandparents called “mano” where you take the hand of an elderly person and place it on your forehead as if you are receiving their blessing. The Philippines is a very wonderful country with their diverse culture and their history!
