Just a reminder that there is no
school on Monday! I will see the
students back at school on Tuesday, May 3.
It has been another full week of learning!!!
Our explorations and activities included…
*Continuing to work on Mango and
Jelly’s play space. Our path changed a little bit as some of the students
wondered what it would be like to create an imaginary world for the guinea pigs
to explore in addition to the real one!
They were excited to start this, and it was an amazing relaunch to an
already awesome project that the kids have had going.
*Jasper’s mom came in to make
Anzac day biscuits with our class. The
classroom smelled wonderful and the kids enjoyed tasting them! Thanks Fiona!
*We were painting together and a
couple of the kids were upset that they had dripped on their painting—I showed
them how you could fold the ends of the paper together and smush the paint to
make a new painting! This led to an impromptu lesson on symmetry and so many of
the students wanted to try it out after!
*We had a counseling lesson with
Mr. Pearson on Honesty
*The students did some AMAZING
drawing and writing with me. Sounding out words and labels, fine motor
control—I was almost in tears at how proud I am of my class!!!
*Jimmy and Shayne started a word
hunt with the letters in all of our names that enticed the rest of the
class. For awhile it was loud and noisy
as many students were frantically looking around for different words and
letters, but so so great!
*Our Pre K team of teachers have
spent a lot of time and effort over the year to reinvent some intentional and
purposeful learning spaces around the ECC, and it looks amazing! This morning
we spent some time in some of the new spaces—it was a big hit!
*The civil defense was here
doing a course with admin in the high school, so there was a bright red fire
truck sitting outside. Of course we had
to go investigate! The men were incredibly nice and answered all of the
student’s questions.
*All of the Pre K classes walked
down to watch a Kindergarten Assembly this morning. We watched one of the
kinder perceptual motor classes (the kinder version of Move and Groove) perform
Under The Big Top, celebrated birthdays and danced around to a fun song.
