Numbers, Numbers Everywhere!!!

The children created their very own number book today. We worked in pairs to find objects to represent their number they were given. We are so proud of this accomplishment! Our very first digital book!  Look below to see the result!!  Click the book below and don't forget to turn your volume up! 

At home connection:  Practise finding objects at home to represent number.  Discuss more, less and equal.  Have your child try to print all of the numbers too!!  You can create your own number book and bring it to school to share with us!!

Our Community!!

We are starting a year long study about our community.  We will be focusing on recognizing people in our community and what they do, and the places and buildings within our community.  The children decided that we need grass and roads for our community and with the help of Ms. Chelsie and Ms. Cassie (our co-op students)  the children designed Amherstburg.  Here is a picture of what it looked like when we began.  Keep posted for our finished product soon to come!!! 

Our Trip to the Grocery Store!!

As part of our community study this year, we visited Sobey's grocery store on Tuesday.  We went on a scavenger hunt in the grocery story looking all over for specific things.  We had to find a fruit that was shaped like a sphere, we counted how many differnt kinds of apples there were.  We had to find a vegetable that is bigger than your hand.  We looked for a cereal that started with the letter 'f'.  We discovered tha pasta comes in many shapes.  It was a fun adventure!  A special thank you to all of the volunteers that came along!  We can't do it without you!! 

Thank you to Sobeys for allowing us to visit your grocery store and for the yummy treat they gave to our class at the end!! 

Spheres!!

We have been looking all over for spheres in the classroom and around the school!!

Our head is a sphere!!  We love the orange hair for black and orange day!!

We found spheres in our lunches!  We took a survey and asked the children who had a sphere in their lunch today.  Most children did not have a sphere.  3 friends had apples and 1 friend had a lollipop!!  We thought of other foods that were shaped like a sphere.  They came up with plums, oranges, peaches, lemons, and tomatoes!! 

We played with spheres at the blocks.  The children made ramps and one group created a golf course.

We played with balls (spheres) in the gym.  They discovered that spheres can roll, spin, and bounce.  They are not flat like a circle!!

Please try to continue to use this new word at home!!
