Rainy Days with Bear
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!
We kept practicing our math language of "plus" and "equals" by snapping together snap cubes of different colours, then counting and adding them together to make five. We found out we could add 4 + 1, 3 + 2, and 5 + 0, and then reverse all of those numbers and get the same answer!
Writing To A Friend
Using Handwriting Without Tears style tracing sheets, we each took a paper with a classmate's name on it, wrote their name, and then drew a picture for them that we thought they'd like. We then gave them their name and the picture!

Spring 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, and 2D magnet shapes to create them on our magnet board. We then told our friends what features the trees had!

Other Things We Did
After reading "The Magnificent Tree", we talked about why birds and animals would like natural trees over man-made structures, and why keeping things simple is sometimes the best.
We kept working with the number five, with our daily math question showing us how to properly use + and =.
We discovered "new life" in our worm house, as some kind of plant had started to grow. We're really excited to see what it might be!
For our spring trees, we made "mental pictures" in our head of what a spring tree might look like, then went outside to check that picture against real trees, and then came to a happy middle with our painted trees.
We kept playing "That's Not a Number", identifying the numbers 1, 2 and 3, figuring out which symbols were not numbers, and then practicing writing our numbers on our "Dance Tickets" so we could go to the class "Dance Party".
Our Friday Free Centre featured some extra painting, coloured chalk, iPads and a variety of building materials. It was amazing seeing some of the neat things people came up with!
