Poem of the week-April 1-5th

Rhyming Words

We have been having fun learning about rhymes!

Fun with Music

We have been rockin to the rhythm of our instruments. Our discoveries include different tempos, vibrations and varied ranges of volumes. We invite any parents with a musical talent to come into our class and jam along. Let us know in your child's communication book and we can find a mutual convenient time. Our favourite tunes are Mr. Knicker Bocker and We Will Rock You.

Signs of Spring Part 2

Shake and Spill

This activity helps children relate a given number to other numbers. Today, we worked with the number seven.

The first step was to place seven counters in a cup.

Then the children shook their cup and spilled the counters onto the table.

After that, the children recorded their results on paper and talked about what they noticed with a teacher.

Some children were ready to extend the activity by writing addition sentences to match their pictures.
