Pasta with Nonna

What a healthy lunch! Pasta and a bun!

A special thank you to Nonna for coming in to make her pasta for us to eat. What a special treat! The children described the pasta and said it was yummy, good, delicious. Nonna brought cheese to put on top and we loved it! Thank you to Miss Nageen for her help in the kitchen. We really appreciate all of our great volunteers!



Letter shapes in the gym.

On Monday we talked about the letters C & K, both make the same sound, k. Then in gym class the children used their bodies to make the letters!







Big and Little

We have been discussing sizes of objects in the classroom and the kids came up with other words to use for big and little.
Can you come up with other words at home? Discuss them with your child and use these words at home too!

Look what came into our classroom today!

Jamie's older sister found a little tiny bird's nest outside today and she thought we would like to have it in our classroom. We put it at the science table and one of our friends became very interested in it. He drew a picture of it and wrote the words birds nest on the picture. We decided to research it on the Internet to find out what kind of bird makes tiny little nest. Stay tuned....



Patterns are everywhere in the classroom!!

Wow. Are they coming up with creative ways to make a pattern. Look below:
1. At home painting their fingernails.
2. Delvin made a bee and showed me the yellow, black pattern
3. Ashley made a bracelet and used 3 colours to make a pattern.





Gym Class Today!

We used spheres, circles and cones in the gym today!

Another class survey!!

On the classroom calendar it asked everyone to wear blue yesterday and we wanted to find out how many people did wear blue. We made a yes/no graph and asked the question: Did you wear blue today? Here are the results of the survey. We discovered that 14 people wore blue and 8 people did not wear blue. There were more people that wore blue and less people did not wear blue.

At home connection: create a yes/no graph at home and decide on a question for your graph. Bring it to school to share with us.
