Hat Day!

We had a great "Hat Day" in Grade 2/3!  Everyone came wearing a hat of some kind and this shows that we have 'school spirit' in our classroom.  We started out by thinking about all of the different kinds of hats that exist.  We each chose 4 kinds of hats and surveyed our friends to determine which was their favourite (great tallying/data collection practice).  We discussed 'adjectives' - describing words!  We created a list of words that could be used to describe our hats colour, size, texture and overall appearance.  We wrote clues about our hats using these words and then used these to try to guess who's hat was being described! Using describing words to enhance our writing will continue to be encouraged!
