May 29 - June 1 ~~~~ Frogs and Butterflies!

Frogs, bugs, a long and a pond.  Collect a combination of ten frogs and bugs. Turn a number card over.  Example # 8 is turned over this student decided to put 4 frogs on the log and 4 frogs in the pond.  Learning that 4 and 4 make 8.


Roll and build.  Roll two dice count the dots, put that many cubes together, find that number on you card and place the tower that number.Counting to determine how many are in a number and number recognition.

Designing your own artistic butterfly!  First color to decorate, cut out and put together.  Lots of beautiful colorful butterflies!

Butterfly symmetry - Look at the design on one wing of the butterfly and see if you can make the other wing look the same.  This can be quite difficult to do.  Many times the colors and shapes are correct but they are not in the correct place on the wing.


Our Class Timeline -  We looked at many of the different things that have occurred this year.  When you look at it at a glance … it shows how busy we have been.  We discussed what we had worked on and then I asked the students to choose one event and write about it in writer’s workshop.  It was very interesting to see who wrote about what event.  The students asked if they could go to the timeline to see the words to write.



We planted some Scarlet Runner bean seeds when they are up  I will send them home.  Just cut the bottom out of the cup and plant.  Plant it by a pole and it will climb up it and you will have some beautiful Scarlet flowers!


Susan Rankin from the Dept of Forestry was in and did an amazing presentation for/with the students.  She had an actual stuffed beaver and had a river, pond, and branches to dam off the pretend water and the children helped to make the beaver’s den.  She also gave each child a nickel with the beaver on it!

A few pictures from learning centre time.

The Spring Concert!!!  Your children did an amazing job of singing.  I was very proud of my class!
