Well we finally had a bit of Winter here in Vancouver. We actually had a week of snow. Although we are in Canada, most of the Winter Sports, here in Vancouver, are done inside; especially ice skating.
At my school, every year the kids go skating. We go 3 classes at a time, and 3 different times on the ice. This gives the kids a chance to improve each time. So by the time they are in Grade 2, most of my students can skate a little bit, and by Grade 4 or 5 they are very confident on the ice. We went for our first ice time yesterday, so I made up this little book for my class to complete when they got back.
There are diagrams to compare the different kinds of ice skates.
And there are some open-ended Language Arts lessons. They are perfect for Grade One, but can be adapted for K or Grade 2. I used them with my Grade Two’s.
