Happy Easter!

We incorporated EGGS into our learning this week.  We are working at making good "estimates", so the students were challenged each day to "estimate" the number of eggs in a container.

We experimented with colour using hardboiled eggs and a colouring kit.  The students especially enjoyed this activity and made great observations about how the eggs changed.  Thanks to everyone for bringing in eggs.  I hope the eggs made it home safely!

We ended our day with a special egg hunt.  The students had to read a message I wrote to them on chart paper.  Working together using their letter/sound knowledge and sight word recognition, the students were able to red the message successfully!  

Making Pizza

Today we made mini-pizzas! Our little chefs did a fantastic job following directions to make this yummy treat.

Can you remember the steps we followed in making the pizza?

                      

Everyone agreed the pizzas tasted yummy! 

After eating our delicious treat, we created a class book called "Pizza is..."

We enjoyed reading the story "Pete's a Pizza".

Nursery Rhyme Time

We are busy exploring many different nursery rhymes!  So far, we have read the following rhymes:

The Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe

Little Miss Muffet

Humpty Dumpty

Hickory Dickory Dock

Jack and Jill

Following our reading of Humpty Dumpty, we experimented with different building materials. We were challenged to build a wall that would prevent Humpty Dumpty from falling.  We worked in small groups using different materials, such as foam blocks, wooden blocks, connecting cubes and Lego.

It was a great activity to encourage cooperation and problem-solving skills.

This group created a safe place for Humpty Dumpty using the wooden blocks.

Oops...Humpty Dumpty had a great fall!

Using the foam blocks, the children found a special way to keep Humpty Dumpty from falling off the wall.
