Sorting by Colours!

The children are using their fine motor skills to sort the different colours of Pom poms! 

Terry Fox Run

Today at Amherstburg Public School we held our Terry Fox Run/Walk.  The children enjoyed a warm-up led by Mrs. Shepley, then they walked/ran 5 km!  Our school raised $1000 for cancer research. 

Our class also watched a short video about Terry Fox and the Marathon of Hope, the link is below:

Terry Fox Story

Mrs. Shepley led the entire school in a warm-up before the walk.

Warming up before the walk!

And we're off!!

Light Table

Today we added new transparent shapes to our light table. The children had fun making designs on the table.

Different Shades of Colour!

We are looking at all of the different shades of colour and matching them to the colour it goes best with!  Megan did a great job finding all the different shades of yellow!  She noticed that some some looked a little green but they were yellow she said!  Abbey was finding all the different shades of pink.  Abbey noticed that some of the pink look a little purple too!

Chicka Chicka Boom Boom!

Today we read the story Chicka Chicka Boom Boom!  The children had a chance to retell the story during activity time!

Alphabet Bingo

Today the children had a chance to play Alphabet Bingo. Playing games with letters is a great way to help your child learn letters while having fun!

Harvesting Sunflower Seeds.

We were fortunate to have some sunflowers donated to the classroom, thank you to Mrs. Drouillard! At the Science centre the children had a great time using their fine motor skills to harvest the seeds from the flower.  In the spring we will plant the seeds we saved and grow our own sunflowers.
