Our Week - October 23 - 27th

Hi Families, 

After a P.A Day last week, we have a lot to tell you about!

Ms. Boag's Library
On Monday, we opened 'Ms. Boag's Library' in our classroom. We all got to choose a special book from her collection to take home and read with our families. We saw some of our favourite books and some new titles too!

Tree Painting
On Tuesday, we went to the forest to look at the trees in the Fall with Mrs. Darlow. Then in the afternoon we thought about the fall trees and we painted them with Mrs. Boag! First, we made the tree trunk and then used sponges to make leaves.
                          

New Trees!
On Wednesday, it was 'Get Outside and Play Day'! We had fun playing outdoor games like 'Fruit Salad', 'Here and There', and 'Don't Throw Your Junk in My Backyard'!
We were also surprised to see 4 trucks in our backyard! The Board has given us 3 new trees and they used a digger to dig holes and to plant them!
We named the trees Fireball (Autumn Blaze Maple Tree), Big Red (Red Oak), and Honey (Honey Locust). We promise to water them and take good care of them!
                      



Leaf Hunt
On Thursday, we went on another nature walk but this time we had a challenge. It was a leaf hunt challenge. We each needed to choose 2 leaves from the forest floor that were our favourites. We drew pictures of the leaves in our nature journals and then brought them back to class!                                                    

Chicka Chicka Letters 
This week we got 2 new letters for our Chicka Chicka alphabet! We got the letters H and J. The Hh was a house and a hive for bees. The Jj was a jaguar and a jigger (we learned this is a kind of fish hook).
