Our Week - April 8 - 12

Hi Families,

It was wonderful to see so many of you at last night's parent engagement evening - A Night of Modern Learning! We hope you enjoyed learning more about the excellent programming happening at Black Walnut! If you attended you will be receiving an e-mail with a survey link. We'd love your feedback.
                    

Here are some stories from the week:

Monday Surprise!
We surprised Ms. Boag on Monday by making her a card and a present for her birthday!

Balancing
Ms. Tamaki started teaching us about weight, mass, and balancing this week. We learned to compare things to see what is heavier and what was lighter. We created paper scales to see what was heavier and lighter and started to use different balance scales.
                      

Pink Day
Wednesday was Day of Pink and we had lots of it in our classroom! We created kindness messages to create a friendship chain and made Pink Day scratch art! 
The Chickadees and new Bluejays were so excited to sign our school's Pink Day banner. We signed it when we were Chickadees and we tried to find our names on the banner! We all promise to be a buddy and not a bully and to be kind to everyone!


Coding
Ms. Boag brought some new coding friends to visit the classroom. She introduced us to Botley and Cubetto and we got to try to move them around by creating codes. Cubetto moves on a map so we had him move different places - like the mountains or the ocean. Botley has special arms so we used him to try to score a goal!
 

Rhyming
We are learning about rhyming in Kindergarten and we started by singing a favourite song - down by the bay! We have rhyming eggs that we use too! We have to match the pieces to make a whole egg!
               

Elephant and Piggie
We have started reading Elephant and Piggie stories again because they are just too funny! We've made puppets and masks so that we can put on a show of our favourite Elephant and Piggie tales! Stay tuned....
