 |
| We had a hair salon with doll heads and a horse head for the children to make beautiful. Jack suggested we also add scissors to the centre so the plastic playdough scissors were added they did not really cut the hair. The velcro rollers, elastics, clips, hair dryer and curling iron kept the children really busy trying to create the latest fashion hair! |
 |
| The wood working centre was also a big hit! The children had to wear safety glasses for this centre. The hammers were really busy as they hammered nails into the wood and also tried to get the nails out. Many fine motor skills are being put to work at this centre. I believe a few fingers were also hit by the hammer in the process. |
 |
| The paint easel is always a popular centre. The children are amazing artists! |
 |
| Some other learning centre time activities! |
 |
| The children are really enjoying the time with me or Ms. B playing a game at learning centre time! Here we are playing Ladybug Fly Home! Playing games in a wonderful, fun way to encourage cooperation, taking turns, and good sportsmanship! |
 |
| The writing centre is open each day. Molly was writing and writing. She made beautiful notes for Gemma and Lydia! Great writing Molly! |
 |
| Friendship Salad is a part of our social studies. We learned that fruit is grown in many countries. It is picked, packaged, stored in a cool place and is shipped, flown or maybe put on a train to come to the stores where we can go and buy the fruit. The grapes that we used in our salad came all the way from Chile. |
 |
| Here we are enjoying our fruit salad! |

| Benjamin was our Star of the Week! Congratulations Ben! All of the children have now had a turn to be star of the week. |

| We compared the setting, characters, and the beginning, the middle and end of three different Goldilocks and The Three Bears stories. In two stories Goldilocks jumped out the window when the bears woke her and in one story she ran out the door, all stories took place in the woods in a cottage. |
 |
| We chose our favorite chair, bed,bear and cereal! Lots of math happening here; which one had more, less was there any that had the same amount? |
 |
| Creating Goldilocks or a bear for our art wall each one was unique! Lots of creativity going on at this work job |

 |
| Mrs. Clark our Literacy Coach was in she did a lesson on I'm Not Afraid Of My Words. The children are encouraged to attempt to write using the sounds that they hear. We set the timer for 15 minutes and the children went to work. When the timer buzzed the children groaned they were not finished. So I set it for 5 for minutes. Then we had to have snack and little recess. When the children came back in they wrote for another 15 minutes and then Mrs. Clark shared a couple of the children's writings. It was amazing. Colton kept saying I'm not afraid of my words! |
