Jungle gym


Outdoor fun!










Read and walk -a-thons

Just a few captured moments of the events on Friday. The children had a great time walking the track and meeting up with some brothers and sisters! The parents who were able to volunteer their reading skills were so appreciated! The kids just love when you come to visit!

Best selfies ever!


Fun with technology!

 Miss Massender is taking pictures of us, taking pictures of our selves. She captured our silliness.

                         

I have never heard giggles like this before ;)
 There were some full out belly laughs at themselves!

Very creative moments

Can you guess what these 2 artists are doing? I showed the girls some pictures of the Sistine chapel painted by Michael Angelo. And here's what we came up with!
Great for fine motor. Great new concepts-learning new ways to create art,introduction to a great artist.
"You have to lay on your back, on a ladder that reaches up to the ceiling!"

"These are our helmets and phones"  
"We're calling you"
"It's our snowmobile"

"We're driving to Tennessee"
"These are the skies"
"We're driving to detroit"

Milk and soap and food colour...what's going to happen?


I predict that..."we are making play dough" "we're making cupcakes" "we will mix colours" "I think we will make coloured water"

Reaction!!!!!... "HAAAAAAAA" "the colour exploded" "how did you do that" "they're mixing" "look how it moves" "Mrs. Long, you're magical"

What happened?... "When we put the milk in and then the colours and the pick with the soap on it, it mixed in. It made the colours go out"

"The colours are moving"

"Can we mix them now?" "It's making new colours"

The boys just watched in amazement 


"It's a tornado" "the bubbles are following my toothpick" "if you look through the magnifying glass the bubbles look closer"

Blowing is another way to make the liquids move and mix.

Centers


Math concepts-we are identifying numbers and adding and subtracting!
Social /emotional- working together as a team to create a tower.

Math-patterning with different attributes

Literacy- we are writing a story. Using picture clues, sounding out words and finding words on the word wall to copy.

Fine motor- rolling play dough to form shapes. Also identifying shapes on the play dough mats. Estimating how much play dough they will need to fill a shape.
