Thank you to the moms who were able to volunteer this month for our literacy hour. 

It is so special to have you come and be apart of our classroom

Have fun Molly Lou Melon

While reading the book Have Fun Molly Lou Melon, the children learned new words like, imagination, inventing, engineer, design and create.

It sparked some ideas in our young inventers and got the creative juices flowing!

Design and drafting up their idea of a race car, that turns into a submarine.

There are the materials they collected to start the build.

Other friends became involved in the construction.

These girls are making phones with cups and string.

They added bells and a quarter slot.

We looked up some pictures of different kinds of phones.

We talked about who invented phones!

We are encouraging the children to make plans, create things and try it over and over.

Please feel free so send in your beautiful junk for creating inventions.

Buttons, cork, twine, tape, foil, tubes, bottle caps, cups, boxes, cotton balls....etc

This story teller has some great ideas that we also talked about in our class. That we can get back to nature and find some hidden artistic abilities or a designer or an architect within ourselves.

When reading this book at circle time our children came up great things to build and some great materials use. If you'd like to send in any kinds of recycled materials, natural materials or just something fun to create with, please send them.

Examples: cork, material, buttons, sticks/toothpicks/popcicle sticks, bottle caps, water bottle caps, empty containers or bottles, fake flowers, twine, foil, cups....

Hot Cross Buns

I just love this singing activity that Mrs. Lawrenson does with the children. Their hand movements are actually music signals.

Hockey

G wanted a hickey rink. So he figured out how to make one. 

He invited team mates to join in and play. 

Well done!! What a great activity. 

Sensory painting

"I can write letters and shapes in the paint"

"I push on it hard, it goes far. I push on it gently and it doesn't move very much."

"I can get this colour here all the way over here."

"The red and the purple make blue."

Shhhhh, While I was videoing the children painting, I caught this dancing extravagant do the "Boogiloo". She caught me watching!
