Green Day

The leprechaun left us a note.... and some of his magic powder with a green liquid. We had to mix it up for a couple minutes and say the magical leprechaun words... and then the magic powder changed into a special treat!  

This afternoon we sorted some fruit loops by colour -onto the rainbow. (Each person had their own bag of cereal.) A good fine motor skill to help strengthen those little finger muscles!

Then after making a rainbow, we made a fruit loop necklace!

                                                    

                               We also used the little muscles in our fingers to pinch, squeeze, and roll this yellow ball of modelling clay. After a minute, we noticed some blue appearing in the ball. Then we kept squeezing and pinching.. and the ball turned into a green colour!!  

How many hops does the leprechaun need to take to get to 10?

Some kids made some traps to try and catch the leprechauns....

   Parachute fun at gym time!

Library Day

Racing around the shamrock!

                                            Library Day today!  Everyone who had returned their library book was able to choose a new book today. Thank you, Mr. Wesselius, for reading us a story!

Some kinders had a chance to try this activity today. They had to pick a picture with a leprechaun, and then say the word, then s-t-r-e-t-ch it out slowly, then record the sounds they heard in the word. We are listening carefully for which vowel is in the middle, as well as the first and last consonant sounds. They matched the number that the leprechaun was holding to the number on their paper.

Creating new colours by adding WHITE

 We have already learned that mixing colours creates new colours. But what happens when you keep adding white to the same colour? Today we discovered ..... the colour keeps getting lighter!

 

Adding 2 groups of shamrocks to get?

Shamrock Chase... who can get around the shamrock the fastest? Roll the die and see!

Tug-o- war... roll the die and then move the coin towards your finish spot

Rainbow Roll... roll the number, find the matching word on your paper and print that word.

Colour puzzles

Colour word puzzles....

Just a reminder to please check the weather and make sure your child is dressed appropriately to play outside... and don't forget that the early morning temperature is usually lower than the mid-afternoon forecasted temperature. Also, gym classes are often outside, so the kids are outdoors for an extended time in the morning.  We've had some cold children the past couple days.

Have a great weekend!

 

Shades

As part of our Science curriculum, we have been learning about colours! We had read the story Brown Bear, Brown Bear one day. Then, everyone had a chance to paint a picture of one of the animals in the story.... then cut it out after it dried.... then write a sentence to tell about their picture.  (ie.  "I see a red bird looking at me."). Then we put them all together in the correct order to retell the story!

Today we created new colours. We learned that when we add black to a colour, we get a darker shade of that colour!

....Looks like there are lots of patterns being made at centre time!....

...matching number words to the numbers!..
