Now that the warmer months are upon us, we have been out and about quite a bit! It has been so great to be able to venture out to a variety of parks, visit the ravine and NoseHill Park, and climb some trees. What a great time to be a kid! Through these outdoor adventures we have been able to learn about bird eggs, decomposition, how trees and flowers eat and drink, staying safe as a group when coming to and crossing the street, how the City of Calgary rebuilds street curbs, how to measure our weight against the strength of tree branches, and how to offer helping suggestions to friends in need of assistance meanwhile being patient with them so they can have a chance to succeed at things that are difficult for them. These are just a few things that being outdoors has provided us this week alone. :)
This week we learned about and compared the characteristics of each season. As a group we brainstormed different items we use in each of the 4 seasons and made a person who didn't know which season to dress for…our person sure looked funny! We also practiced building Mat Man and then drew a person who was supposed to be in a specific season. Our big project what using a drawing of a tree split into 4 quadrants to illustrate the seasons. We used oil pastels, markers, crayons and paint.
We continued to compare 2D and 3D shapes this week. We identified 2D shapes that most closely resemble each 3D shape we have been learning about. We also played our shape/colour dominoes game.
Some other activities we did this week included throwing a frisbee, building with velcro sticks, playing Brown Bear, Black Bear what do you see? game, and playing What Time Is It Mr. Wolf with the hose.
