Our Week Before March Break! March 5-9

Hi Families,

We wish you all a safe and happy March Break! Remember that your child has a March Break Journal that he/she can write stories in. Or feel free to send us a postcard!

Here are some stories from the week.

Birthday Balloons
This week we sorted ourselves based on our Birthdays. We made Birthday Balloons this week to go on our wall to show our sorting. Now we can see when our friends have birthdays!

Nature Walk
Owl Game - Ms. Boag was the owl and we all had 10 seconds to hide while she closed her eyes. If she called our name we were caught! We also spent some time listening to the forest and looking all around. We each chose a quiet sit spot where we could draw things that we thought we interesting.


Superhero Costumes
Some people knew that they did not have superhero costumes so this week we made our own costumes! We used paper, string, paint, pencil crayons, plates, crayons and more to make our costumes!
                       

Superhero Shapes
After a Chickadee noticed that Batman's logo is an oval shape we decided to look for more superhero shapes! We drew them into our shape books!
                           

Big Buddies
Our Big Buddies came to visit on Thursday. Together we made superheroes and side kicks. We used a blank person shape and then we coloured them to turn them into superheroes. We gave each superhero a power and a superhero name.
                       


Superhero day
Superhero Day is special because we get to wear costumes. It is fun to pretend to be superheroes and to to make superhero poses. We had many Wonder Women, Supergirls, Spidermen, and Batmen! We named superheroes and sorted them in different ways.

One of our Bluejays brought a game for us to try! It was called 'Pin the A on Captain America'! We really liked this game!
                

Our Week - February 26 - March 2

Hi Families,

Here are some stories from the week...

Olympics
The Winter Olympics finished on the weekend, but the Black Walnut Olympics finished on Wednesday! We were very happy that our class country of Slovenia finished the race! We learned a lot about winter sports and had fun learning new ways to exercise. 
                              


It's a Zoo
We read the story Dear Zoo by Rod Campbell. It is a funny story with a patterned text so we enjoyed helping to read the story. After reading, we decided to make some of our own animals that we can tell our own stories with and then we can make a zoo with them.
                   


Pink Shirt Day
On Wednesday, we celebrated Pink Shirt Day by wearing pink and red.  We practised being a buddy not a bully and made our own T-shirts with messages. 

Here are some of our thoughts on being kind:

Being kind is talking to people and helping them get to the snack table
Being kind is not grabbing. We should be nice sharing and ask nicely
Being Kind is reading a book to a chickadee and helping them
Being Kind is not breaking things. We should be kind and gentle and careful
Being Kind is playing with everyone and not being mean. Try to make a new friend each day.

                      
                          
Shapes! Shapes! Shapes!
This week for our nature walk we used clipboards and pencils and went on a shape walk. We stopped in different places and looked for shapes in the world around us and drew them into our shape books.
When we got back to class, we added some different shapes to our math centre to play with and explore. 
       
                                
Letter Book
We took down our Chicka Chicka Letters this week and put them together in a book. It was fun to look back on all the art we received and we already love looking at our new class book. 
                     



Chicks
We had 4 special visitors on Wednesday. One of our Bluejays brought in some chicks that she and her family are taking care of. She told us that they came out of eggs and are now growing big! We watched them eat and drink and we listened to them peeping!


Grad Photos
Our Bluejays looked fantastic today for their SK Grad photos. You are going to love them!
