Busy week of learning

We're going on a Word Hunt !!!

Over the last several days we have noticed the children walking around the room and copying the sign in sheets, poems and words around the room. Today, we suggested they go on a "Word Hunt" so we could add more words to our word wall.

Dress-up Centre 

We would like to thank the families that donated all of the awesome clothes to our Dress-up Centre. The students were very excited to show them off.

Painting and Sharing 

Sign-in

We noticed on another blog that they were looking at the use of a mirror to enhance exploration and creativity. We were eager to try this with our class.

We set up our mirror on top of the water table and set some small blocks beside the table. The children became curious and started to explore right away.

 Later in the day, we set some large blocks on the floor so they could stand on them to get a different view.

We would like to thank Mrs. Taylor for the large tubes she donated to our classroom.

Light Table

Light is an important element in all forms of life. Light is also a great resource to teach with and we will be experimenting with light throughout the year.

The students are stretching different string, ribbons and yarn across and under the table. While they were doing this, they noticed how the light appeared to change with the amount they would pull across the table.

They then decided to put some objects in the divided parts of the table.

Please check back for more light table pictures to be posted.
