Our Week December 3 - 7

Hi Families,

What a wonderful week we have had to start December! We had more Chickadee families come to visit and we enjoyed showing them our room. 
Thank you again for all of the boxes! Our box city is definitely growing! 
Please remember that we will have nature walks on Tuesday and Thursday next week so wear your snowpants!

Here are some stories from the week.

Mystery Plant
Ms. Boag brought in some more fruits and vegetables for us to look at to see if they are the mystery plant. We still don't know what it is but we made a book of all things it isn't! We enjoyed tasting the fruits and vegetables too!


Pattern Airplanes
Since we are learning about patterns, Ms. Sun helped us make colour patterns on paper. Then we watched a youtube video to learn how to turn our papers into paper airplanes! And these airplanes could really fly! We tested them in the hallway and it was so fun!


Shape Patterns
We also worked with Ms. Sun to learn about shape patterns. Can you tell what our patterns are in the picture?


Box City
New to the city this week we have a movie theatre, an ice cream store, and a McDonalds. We also researched famous buildings and statues from around the world to add to our city. We really like the Burj Khalifa in Dubai and the Statue of Liberty in New York. 


Where are you Going?
We listened to a song called 'Where are You Going' to give us ideas for our city. We decided to make a class book about all the places we like to visit. 


Hanukkah Games
On Friday we learned about Hanukkah and played a special game. It is called the Dreidel Game! A Bluejay in our class taught us how to play and how to recognize each symbol on the dreidel!


Feelings
We read a story about different feelings this week and talked about Green Feelings. Those are the feelings that make you feel good like happy, excited, calm, and relaxed. We worked together to make a brainstorm chart of our Green Feeling ideas. Next week we're going to think about Red Feelings. 


Hour of Code
This week was Hour of Code. We spent time on Thursday and Friday trying different coding activities and even went up to the library to try coding on the iPads with Ms. Dias. We used our coding mouse 'Mousey Mouse', the Ozobots, and our Coding mats and practised our positional language (forward, backward, up, down, left, right) to solve problems and move things!
