Working on our Earth Day Project!  The children came up with some excellent ways to help keep our Earth healthy.

It took 2 days for Lauryn, Jillian and Jack to complete this puzzle.  They requested that I take a picture.  I love the pride on their faces.  Well done!

We had a coloring contest a color by number dinosaur.  Of course every child was a winner!  They did their best work.

Some learning centre time activities!  It is easy to see how engaged the children are in their activities!

The Paleontologists are hard at work uncovering dinosaur related words.  After six words are recorded they draw their favorite dinosaur.

The children are busy designing impressive car parks.  We may have some architects in the class.  Notice the bird's eye view of the building.

I reintroduced the choice board.  The children were choosing the same area all the time with the same people.  Now they choose a centre and each there is a posted number of children permitted at each centre..  Each day different people choose first.  After 15 - 20 minutes children are asked to choose a different centre.  On the second rotation, one group of children work/play with me at my table.

A couple of groups working with me at my table we played 7 Up and Snakes and Ladders!

Some learning centre time!
