What a hot and cool week it was! One day we were eating popsicles and the next we had our hoods up on our jackets.
This week was all about Mother’s Day. We spent a bunch of the week preparing our special surprises for mom. Everyone even helped to wrap their gifts! We started off with an accordion style Mother’s Day card where we practiced writing letters and tearing paper. It has been amazing to see how much their letter writing has grown! Some of us built cardboard frames to decorate for a picture that was later drawn about mom and/or family. Everyone created a paper plate flower basket and put tissue paper flowers inside. They sure were busy this past week, and they all did an amazing job!
This week we made maracas to celebrate Cinco de Mayo. We used our maracas to dance to some Cinco de Mayo songs. Fun!
We had a special salmon cooking lesson from Zac. They loved to “paint” the salmon with the mixture that went on top.
On our adventure at Nosehill Park there was a lady who told us that she saw a deer in the trees. The kids asked me how come we can’t see it? One child said that “maybe it is brown so it matches the trees”. This was a great chance to talk about how and why animals camouflage into their surroundings.
This past week we have been focusing on words that start with the letter C and D. Each day we find more and more words. We fill up our entire whiteboard! After we listen to a letter song we brainstorm words that start with the letter that day. After a couple days of thinking about these words we write our favourite word and create something to represent it in our journal.
Some of the other activities we did this week include; building letters with a letter construction kit and journaling our lima bean plant observations. We needed to open the Ziploc bag because it needed space to continue growing!
Can’t wait to see what this coming week holds.
