Our Week - October 10-13

Hi Families,

Here are some stories from our short week.

Belly Breathing
Since September, we have been doing belly breathing. Everyday after lunch we sit down or lie down, we put our hands on our bellies and we think about relaxing and making a happy picture in our brain. We do it to help us relax and cool down so our brain can focus. This month, we started a new song about 'melting'. first, we squeeze our bodies really tight and freeze into an ice block. Then, we slowly relax our bodies and melt into a puddle. 
Here are our 2 songs from youtube

Chicka Chicka Letter Exchange
We finished our letter Ws and we put them in the mail to send to other classes and schools around Canada. We were excited to get letters for our Chicka Chicka Boom Boom Tree! The letters R and A came in the mail this week!
        

Number Week
We watched a fun video on youtube called 'play-dough counting 1 to 10'. This week we made lots of numbers at different centres. We made them by painting and writing, and we built them using play-dough and blocks. We had fun playing and learning with numbers. We also brought out our number board games to practice taking turns.
 








Our Train Station

This week we got new train tracks to put around our train station. We knew the trains needed train tracks to move. We made lines in the parking lot for the trains and buses so that each vehicle has a space. We put numbers on the spots and on the trains so that they don't get mixed up!
