Weekly CentresSpring Trees
Keeping with our theme of a tree for each season, we painted our spring trees this week!
Magnificent Trees
Using the book "The Magnificent Tree" as a guide, we used 2D shapes to create our own "Magnificent Trees" on the carpet. We then told our friends what features the trees had!
March Portfolio
We kept working on our drawing in our March Portfolio, but we also working some more on adding labels. A few of us were even able to add some simple sentences!
Books We Read

Song of the Week - Robin in the Rain
Robin in the rain, such a saucy fellow.
Robin in the rain, mind your socks of yellow.
Running in the garden with your nimble feet.
Digging for your dinner with your long, strong beak.
Robin in the rain, you don't mind the weather.
Showers always make your day!
Bet the worms were wishing you would stay at home!
Robin on a rainy day!
Other Things We DidJaneen, a local artist, came in on Tuesday and helped us make Acrylic Hearts! They'll be coming home at the end of next week!
We talked about how the different feelings can make us feel, and how changes in the seasons can make us feel a bit funny.
Our worms ate all the food that was left in their container and left behind castings!
We've mixed up our message a bit. Now, we're saying it a little bit faster, but also saying it more often and in different groups (boys, girls, people wearing blue, people with short hair) to help increase our reading fluency.
We started using "Number Tickets", or sheets with different numbers on them, to practice our number printing. If we finished it before the song playing was over, we got to participate in our number dance party!
We worked a bit on the difference between the "R" sound and the "W" sound.
Our new, favourite, in-class game show, "That's Not A Number!" took place! We looked and numbers and letters that were similar (like 5, S & 2) and had to identify the number and, if it wasn't a number, say "That's Not A Number!"
Thanks for a great week. Rae came home and is still singing the Robin song and couldn't stop talking about painting her heart and the experience working with the artist in class. Happy Spring.
