Creating our own unique ladybugs! This was a three day process. First you draw grouchy, happy, sad, and
excited pictures. Second you paint paper
plates red. Third you cut out and attach the head and them paint this body
paper plate black, and add black spots to your dry red plate. Next you cut out your pictures and glue to
the shell of the body. With the
assistance of Mrs. Dumville the red doted plate is cut in half and a paper
fastener is used to attach the wings to the body. The ladybugs are very vibrant!

We were invited into Mr. MacDonald’s grade
one class. The class published a
procedural writing booklets on how to make a caterpillar. The grade one students teamed up with the
kindergarten students and created caterpillars.
Soon the beans will grow and be the bodies. Grade one did an awesome job of guiding the
kindergarten children and following the directions. Thank you grade one and Mr. MacDonald.

Turn and talk is a strategy we use in the
class. It is very interesting how
challenging this can be for some students.
Once the conversation begins the classroom is humming. One students talks, another students listens
and then they switch. I asked the
students to tell each other what they were going to do after school.

Our completed plasticine insects! Each one was unique. We used Barbara Reid’s blending strategy to
change the color of the plasticine. Ask
your child how this was done.
