Cylinders Galore!

Lots of friends brought cylinders to school today! Paper towel rolls, toilet paper rolls, pringle chips, a flashlight, lipstick, a bird feeder, a can of pop, a curler, crayons, a fitting pipe, and a cup are all cylinders.

Our Field Trip!

We delivered our letters today! The weather was beautiful and along the way we discovered many shapes. We saw cylinders, prisms, spheres, cubes, cones, rectangle, circles, squares and lots of rectangles. At the post office the children stamped their letter and put it in the mailbox that goes to the North Pole. We mailed a letter to Miss Amy's mom too! She lives in Pembroke, Ontario and she sent our class knitted hats and mitts so we can have extra in case we forget ours.
It cost us 69 cents to mail the letter. Mrs. Shepley gave the lady a loonie and we got a penny, a quarter and a nickel back. Off to the library! Mrs. Borland read us 2 stories and then we sang songs using instruments that she gave us. It was a great field trip! Thank you to all the volunteers! We can't do these walking adventures without you!

Puppet Time!

Making puppets is starting to become popular in the classroom the last few days. We would like to make a centre for the children to make puppets. If you have any odds and ends at home that would be good to use for puppet making, please send them in!

The Post Office is Open For Business!

Mud Pies!

Nathan, Steven and Jamie were playing in the sand yesterday and started to talk about pies that they made out of sand. It led to the conversation of mud pies. I put a list for them to write things that they would need to make mud pies.

We added these things to the sand today. Great pies! Mmmmmmmm!

Our Post Office Is Almost Ready!

We made the sign!

We have the mailboxes ready!

The mailbox is work in progress!

Thank you to those parents who sent in envelopes, stickers and stamps.

The children are very excited!

Off To Investigate!

Jamie came to school this morning and said that she saw a finch's bird nest on the ground along the path on her way to school. We went to investigate and brought our finch's nest to compare. She led the way but when we got to the end of the path she discovered that it is gone now! We did notice all of the birds in the trees at the house nearby and they were eating at the several bird feeders hanging from the trees in their yard. We listened to the chirping noise they were making. As we walked a little further we noticed a great big nest high in the tree. We took a picture of it:
