| We had such a busy week that Mme forgot to take pictures very many pictures. The art gallery was a lot of fun. We learned about print making and we got to make our own prints. We also went to the Rotary Center for the arts and listened to some first nations stories, tried some dances from the Yukon and we also learned how to walk quietly through the woods. We wrote a little book about our favorite animals this week. We are getting pretty good a looking at a list of words and finding the words we want. It was fun to share our books with our friends. This week we noticed that many of us were confusing the letters J and G and the letters b and d. We have been working on remembering their names. We learned a few songs and tricks to help us. We finished our last painting in our seasonal series. We painted a winter tree. Many of us think winter is the best season, but not Mme. We are learning how to make a group plan, and how to be social detectives. We are beginning to notice that our words, actions and behaviour can affect the group in good ways or can make people unhappy. Our first group plan was about play centers. We thought about what we would like to see happen at center time. We decided how we would act towards each other and the toys. We are working hard to follow our plan. One of our friends wanted to do a cotton candy craft this week. This reminded Mme of some books about a family called Barbapapa. In French cotton candy is Barbe a papa (Dad's beard). We read some books, made the craft and we even watched a cartoon of Barbapapa. It was funny and we loved it. Our smart board is finally fixed! We got to do some yoga and brain breaks and we watched a few songs this week. We are pretty excited. |
