What are we up to in JK/SK this week?

There are so many great things happening in our Early Years classroom.  Take a look at "just another day in Mrs. Ducharme and Mrs. Allan's class"!

Spring has sprung in our class and that means it is planting time.  We planted some flowers today and radishes.  We have also been busy checking on the "kindergarden" over the last few days.  Exciting news...our tulips are starting to come up.  We will be measuring the growth of the tulips regularly.  We also are making predictions about what color the tulips will be!  Today we learned that some things are planted from a bulb (like our tulips) and some things can be planted from a seed.

We are using the Smartboard to reinforce the concepts of letters and sounds.  One of our favourite games continues to be the "monkey match"!

We love puzzles!  Take a look at our friends working so hard to
match upper and lowercase letters!

We are currently working on a class book called "Our Favourite Weather".  The children are copying print from our weather word list, as well as using their "best guess spelling" and the word wall to help in their writing.  

We are learning that there are so many different measuring tools!  Today we explored the use of thermometers to measure warm and cold water.  It was "wet fun", but the children were excited to observe the thermometer change.
