Books

 Here's what our handprints looked like once we labelled them. A Primary colour plus a primary colour makes a secondary colour!

Day 6 today.... that means it is Library Book day. Mr. Wesselius read the class a story, then everyone (who had returned their library book from last day 6) got to choose a new book to bring home and read with their family!

Flashlight Friday....

Today the kids started getting sized to see what size of tap dance shoes they will need when the Kinders start dancing -- after Spring Break!

Reminder:  Please return all library books on or before next Day 6 (Monday, March 8th)

Favourite primary colour

We made a graph today, of our favourite primary colours! Apparently red is the most favourite and yellow is the least favourite!

This math activity... was roll a die, say how many, count out that many "marshmellow gems", print the number, then repeat for the other half of the cup. Now how many gems do you have in all?
 

                          The kids have been noticing patterns in the numbers when they see the 100 chart! 

                                       Word puzzles...

This author is making her own book!

These fellows were busy building today...

The next 2 photos are from yesterday... Dress as your favourite storybook character. As you can see, we had 3 Elsas!

Secondary colours

 Today we did a little colour magic!  We chose 2 (of the 3 primary) colours to have our hands painted!  Then we rubbed our hands together and..... we got a new colour!!! The new colours we ended up with were either ... green, orange, or purple... depending on which 2 primary colours we had chosen to begin with!    This new colour is called a "secondary colour". Another word to add to our vocabulary!

                                      

 

We are learning to read and print numbers to 100!

Today we practiced a lock down. Just like a fire drill, we need to be prepared in case of an emergency. Mrs. Grant locked the classroom door, turned off the light, and we had to stay away from the door and be quiet during the lockdown. We talked about the importance of being quiet, so any intruders would not know that we were in the classroom.  (Today we just hid under our desk, but in a real lockdown situation, we would all move to the far corner away from the door.)

Primary Colours

 Today we learned about the 3 Primary Colours. We started a colour wheel collage. We had to be colour detectives, and search for these 3 colours in old magazines. Then we had to cut out that colour and glue it onto the correct spot on the colour wheel. So far so good!

Discovery Time....

Tomorrow, everyone is invited to dress up as a storybook character.

We built this city

 Our Star of the Week did a terrific job sharing her "All About Me Robot" poster and telling us all about herself!  Tomorrow we will be writing a story all about her!

                                      Mrs. Gagne (VP/K Resource Teacher) visited our room today. She instructed small groups of kids to work together as a team, and build different types of structures using different types of building materials. We saw a sky scraper, house, school, tower, and roads!

                        It's a little difficult to tell from the photo, but the kids had all their structures join up to create a city!
