Our Week April 4 - 8

Here are some stories of our week from the Blue Jays (SK students). 

Visiting Next Door
We have begun visiting the classroom next door during different parts of the day. When we go we are meeting new friends, playing at new centres, and learning new things.

Together we created some rules:
-The classroom must be open
-You must tell the teacher where you are by writing your name on the sign up board
-Remember to be responsible and have fun next door.




Creating Characters

We really like learning about different characters from video games, movies, tv, and books. We enjoy Mario, Minecraft, Superman, Batman, and Lion King characters. We wanted some characters in our Construction Land. Each student made a list of the characters they wanted. We made them out of cardboard and paper. We use the characters to play pretend and tell stories. 

Lego Centre

We now have a Lego centre at our Sensory Station. We build ships, houses, vehicles, cars, and battleships! 

Retelling and Math
This week we have begun using books and songs to learn about making numbers and counting backwards. These songs follow a simple pattern and make us laugh and smile!
We have 5 frogs in our puppet centre to tell the story song '5 Green and Speckled Frogs'. We count backwards from 5. We love to have the frogs jump into the pool. 
We are making boy and girl puppets for the story song 'Ten in the Bed'. We are also making a bed. We count backwards from 10. As we count down, somebody always falls out of the bed. This is our favourite part!
