| First day pictures were taken. A fine looking group! |

After reading Pete the Cat - I Love MY White Shoes there was a note at the end of the book. It had a clue of where we might find Pete. We followed the clues, which led us on a tour of the school and in the end. Pete thought our class was the best and we went back to discover Pete was not there but he left a container of Pete the cat cookies. The class really enjoyed the treat.

Ms. McCarthy’s class came up to visit and see our class and then we went to see her class.
We also took first day pictures and another fine looking group!

We started out learning with Pete the Cat. I will be using this theme in my class for a few weeks. This is worked on in the morning.

Routine is important and each day we do work jobs so we got right to work this week the work jobs were playdough wonderful for developing fine motor muscle control, stringing beads, pattern blocks and magnetics.

We worked on letter recognition by marching around the mat with the letters on it when the music stopped tell the letter you are standing on. It was fine to get help from your friends or me.

In the afternoon Ms. McCarthy’s class joins us and it was learning centre time. The children choose which centre they would like to join, there are only so many children permitted to go to each centre. We do a couple of rotations. I try to give the children 45 - 60 minutes of learning centre time each day. Here are a few pictures of the children enjoying the water table, building with the blocks, Lego,and dramatic play.

At the end of each day I ask the students to tell me something they enjoyed about their day. There was a variety of answers from snack,outside in the playground and learning centre time.
We ended up our time with a class picture when I have both classes together.
