Monday
We went to the park with both kindergarten classes. We had a lot of fun playing
and exploring, “I liked going down the slides”, say E.W. and V.K. “I liked the
swings”, says M.W.
In math we represented numbers
in different ways and wrote down
a number sentences for each
combination.
Tuesday
A lot went on today!
First we made tissue
Paper flowers for
Mother Mary’s
Crowning Mass on
Thursday morning.
We also wrote about our favourite thing we did at the park. “I liked seeing the
ants and I like how they were so little”, says J.A.
We watched a play that Mr. Rintche put on with
Mrs. Brown’s class. These were the narrators.
At library time we used our numeracy skills to take a vote on which ‘Blue Spruce’
books we liked the very best. Here are a few photos on our human graph.
We watched a video clip on ‘Austin’s Butterfly’ from the school board. In the video
a boy named Austin makes several drafts of a butterfly, his Grade One friends
kept giving him feedback on how to improve his butterfly and Austin took their
ideas and made his look just like the actual Tiger Butterfly in the end. Here is
M.M.’s Tiger Butterfly.
Wednesday In our growing inquiry we have been wondering why plants need
flowers. We had many different theories. . from they just don’t seem necessary to
we can’t live without them. Stay tuned to find out more!
Can you guess what we are doing here?
Some of the children were talking about
their holidays and going to wonderland. Then
they decided to make a roller coaster!
The challenge.. can you make the flower into a pattern?
Thursday
We put our tissue paper flowers
around the statue of Mary at the church
this morning at the ‘Crowning of Mary’
mass.
Jump Rope for Heart
Assembly was in the afternoon.
Friday
We were having fun running, skipping, and jogging around the school track this
morning. Later we learned what a relay race was and we practised with a team on
running around the track with a shovel instead of a baton.
Some of us talked about different ways to travel this morning; “By airplane, by
train”, says J.P. “By car and by motor boat”, says B.D. We ‘Google’ searched some
ways to travel and learned a lot of new things, especially about trains. Did you
know that there is a crew on a train consisting of several men including, the
conductor and the engineer.
Sharing some of our best work
