This morning, we became scientists! Scientist Nancy from Scientists in school came to help us learn more about winter. Please read the handout in your child's mailbag as it gives a detailed description of the 5 centers your child worked at today. We spent the morning learning about many different aspects of winter. Following are some pictures of the children at work.
Learning about snowflakes: observing snow
Learning about the structure of a snowflake
Learning about birds
Making bird feeders
Learning about body heat and insulation
Learning about animal habitats during the winter
Learning about snow, snow pellets and sleet
It was a great hands on workshop enjoyed by all!!
A reminder to continue reading every evening and to fill out those reading sheets! For every book read, a snowball is added to our snowman!
As you can see, we have reached almost 1/3 of our goal!
In French, my goal is to have everyone speaking as much French as they possibly can during the day. In order to encourage this, every time they speak to me in French, they get a sticker on their mitten.
Once the mitten is full, they can take it home. The children are quite motivated by this and it is so nice to hear all the French being spoken! We started this initiative this week and as you can see, already several stickers have been awarded. I have also started documenting some of the words that are being said in class. My goal is to move them from words to sentences.
Mittens and French words spoken on the first day of initiative.
BRAVO MES HUMMINGBIRDS!!
