We went outside with our Reading Buddies on Tuesday, looked for signs of Spring and made a list of what we saw. It is always nice to be outside and exploring nature in this wonderful weather. We also began learning about plants this week. We planted sunflower seeds and have placed our cups on the window ledge to get lots of sunlight. The children enjoyed making a flip book and labelling what plants need to grow. We have created sunflowers and will label the parts of a plant this week.
In the gym, Miss Santiago continued to teach the children new dances and this week the children learned "At the Hop" and "Cotton Eye Joe". We split the children into 2 groups during our gym time, and each group has 20 minutes in the gym and 20 minutes in the classroom. We are able to do some small group activities and games with the smaller groups. This week the children played "I Have" and "Who Has?" with words and numbers. Each child was given 2 cards and they had to listen to their classmates for their number or word and continue the game. A great time was had by all! In the computer lab, the children played Earth Day games on Starfall.
Springfest, LKS's annual fun fair will be held on Saturday June 2. The Grade Parents have sent out a sign up sheet for our basket, Summer Fun. Each year, classes create baskets which are part of the Silent Auction. Please see the sign up opportunity sent by the Grade Parents. Donations may be brought to the classroom and will be placed in our basket. Please contact the Grade Parents if you have any questions. Thanks in advance to Candace, Artie and Linda for their organization. It is greatly appreciated. Mark your calendars for Springfest. It is always a great day to see friends and neighbours.
