May 14-18

 The children were able to get all the rocks in our bucket once again.
A rock is placed in our bucket for extraordinary behavior.  Like working very
quietly, being respectful of other classes teachers, just being extra kind.
When all the rocks are in the bucket we celebrate.
We did two fun activities to celebrate.
The first activity involved a gift that was wrapped up several times.  The children 
pass the gift around while music is playing,  When the music stops
a layer of wrap is undone.  When all the layers are gone there is a 
surprise for the class to share!


The second activity involved a game of hockey.  Where two children
at a time were able to play against each other.
What fun!





 The fruit salad was delicious.  Thank you so much for sending in the fruit.
Most children had a couple of bowls.
We will be looking at the map this week.



 I brought in a train track for learning centre time.  The children have been
enjoying helping each put in together. Cooperation, social conversation, turn taking, fine motor control and fun all in one activity!


This work job was butterflies of different sizes.  The children colored them, cut them out and glued
them onto a strip of paper from smallest to largest.


Work job #2 - making a shape on the geoboard and then copy your shape onto a paper geoboard.
Fine motor and creativity.


Work job #3 - Find the sight words in a sentence and color them the code color.
Visual perception and sight word recognition.


Work job #4 - create an insert using any of the available materials.


Our beautiful insects.  Creativity at its best!
