We made a Colour Wheel Collage!
   
We did some experiments this morning. We mixed two different primary coloured paints, and discovered that they turned into a new colour -- called a "secondary colour".

Primary Colours

Today we painted a colour wheel using the primary colours. There are 3 primary colours!
We watched a video about colours, too. YOU can check it out here. (click)

 
We also graphed our favourite primary colours. We noticed that red was the most popular!
 
We made a chart to show what we know about the number 7!
 
7 dots on the dominoes....and we needed to use 2 dice to find 7 dots!
      

6

We made a chart about the number SIX/6 today.... to show what we know about the number 6!  These kids found 6 dots on the dominoes, and 6 on the die.

Reading to our elephant buddies.... Ella and baby Ellie

Olympic rings

Olympic rings....
 
Today we had to look at a dominoe, and count the dots on each side, then paint that many Olympic rings. ( Some of us know how many dots there are without even counting!! That is called "subitizing" and is a goal for us to know in Kindergarten. ) We looked at several dominoes, to fill up our paper with rings!
   
Thank you very much to Rylan's mom, Jen, for coming in and reading to our class today. She read us a funny story, that gave us something to think about.
  
Mrs. Hardy and Mrs. Grant also swapped classes today during story time, so the kids in Room 7 had 2 guest readers today!

 -------Everyone is meeting Mrs. Grant's challenge to be word detectives and find and print 10 words (not to be confused with 10 letters!)
  
Library time today
