April 23 - 27 ~~~ Finishing up our Dinosaur Theme

The children created their own dinosaurs.
They were given a half of a paper plate,
white construction paper for the legs, neck,
and tail, there was an assortment of
materials available for the children to
use freely. They glued their dinosaurs
onto black construction paper.  I love
the uniqueness of each dinosaur!


Our second dinosaur floor puzzle!

Roll and record.  Which dinosaur would
race to the finish line first.  Use a
number line to self correct when forming
the numbers.  I overheard a couple of
children saying my Compsognathus  
raced to the top.

Making a volcano erupt… was the all time
favorite work job this week. The expressions
on the children’s faces were priceless! I had
both classes all day Thursday and Friday.
Emily was absent so Cohen took her place
with Seth at this work job!


This work job was clipboard cruising at a
whole new different level. The word MEATEATER
was on the recording sheet.  First find a word
that begin with M, then E, etc.  The dictionary,
books, and word wall were all used to find words.

I set up work jobs for Mrs. McCarthy’s
class on Friday.  They consisted of a
dinosaur floor puzzle, the computers,
the writing table and the volcano work job!  
The children did a wonderful job!

We also made dinosaur fossils!  Max from
grade nine was my assistant.  Thanks, Max!
The fossils need to harden and then we
will paint them up next week!


Learning centre time pictures!

My class loves to read!  Here they
are buddy reading with a friend!
It makes my day when they ask
can we read!!!

To ensure that everyone got to help
with the volcano.  Mrs.Arsenault
graciously let me borrow her big volcano
and each child had a turn adding some
baking soda or vinegar.  It was spectacular!!!


When Grayson grows up he is
going to be a Veterinarian!

Here is Max, he is leading the class
in a game of guess that sentence!
The children take turns guessing a letter
and try to figure out the sentence before
Max draws a complete umbrella.  Each time
an incorrect letter is guessed a part of
the picture is drawn.
