Larger and Smaller
Ms. A is our student teacher from Ontario Tech University. She has been teaching us about numbers and number sets to help us see which is larger or smaller. We have looked at number sets on dice, cards, and chips. 

Ramps and Balls
Our ramps are back in our construction area! We are having so much fun creating slides to see who can make the ball go the furthest!


New Benches
We have 2 new benches at our school! One is right outside the Kindergarten pen. It is for our families to sit and visit. The other bench is blue and it is a buddy bench!! It is for the big kids to sit on if they need a friend! It is always nice to have a buddy!


New Tree
We were so surprised to see a brand new tree outside by our garden! We are not sure what kind it is but we all took a turn to say 'hello' and to touch the tree bark. This tree is very smooth!



Scientists in School
On Wednesday, we had a visit from Scientists in School. Scientist Lindsay taught us all about ways to protect nature! We studied worms, learned about how to conserve water, discovered many things that come from plants, and practised making litterless lunches! Our favourite activity was learning about birds and making our own bird feeders using pasta and cereal. 

           

                   


Bird Feeders
On Thursday, we took our bird feeders out to our forest and hung them on the branches! We saw a lot of chickadees and even a cardinal! We have never seen a cardinal before! We left some sunflower seeds out for the chickadees too! Maybe someday they will eat the sunflowers out of our hands.


Kinder Star Assembly
Thursday was also our Kinder Star Assembly. We sang 2 songs and said our special class created land acknowledgement. We thank the land and the people who share the land with us each time we go out to the forest.
