HEALTHY SNACKS

Dear parents,

Thank you for providing healthy snacks for your children. We encourage you not to send cookies, cakes, chips, and other "treat" foods to school. No NUTELLA,  or any products containing nuts. Thank you!

                  FRUITS AND VEGETABLES AND WATER are wonderful snacks. 

Designs with pattern blocks

Students have been using the pattern blocks to build and create this week.

Water Play: BUBBLES

I have noticed for the past two days that my students are noticing bubbles while playing at the water centre. I asked, "Where did the bubbles come from?" "How do we make bubbles?" The girls below believe that the rigorous movement of their hands in the water "when they shake the water" the bubbles comes.

The girls are pushing the water in one direction to form bubbles. They were asked to push the water in the opposite direction to see if they produced the same results.

Water slips through your hands but the bubbles stick

This student collected the bubbles in the container and "poured" it back and forth.

Creating a Picture Dictionary (PM CLASS)

Many students in the class often ask me how to spell words while they are writing. I am tying to encourage them to use the resources in the room to help them spell common words. We also have picture dictionaries in the classroom but we thought it was more meaningful to create a dictionary based on things the students wanted to know how to spell (e.g., their names, activities and objects in the classroom). The students decorated an old scrapbook and I wrote the alphabet inside. The students took pictures of things in the classroom they wanted to include in the dictionary and they are being encouraged to think of more things to include. Below is a look inside our class picture dictionary.

 We had so many pictures and words for the letter Ss, we ran out of room!!

 

the Ww page...some of our pages need more words!

**The AM class will begin taking pictures soon.
