What we are working on this week
Our shared reading this week is about apples, and what a perfect time of year to read about apples! Students are doing apple prints at the art centre this week, learning how to draw an apple in 3 easy steps at the easel, making an apple book at the writing centre and making predictions about apples at the science centre. We are continuing patterning in math this week so the children are making penne pattern necklaces at the math centre. Students are also using apples to measure items in the classroom for an introduction to non standard measurement. Phew, what a busy week! Pictures are coming soon!

Centres we are working on this week
Mrs. Belanger is working on writing things with the students that begin with the letter m at the guided reading table.
At our word work centre, children pick a friends picture and use plastic letters to make their friends name. Our goal is to be able to read all of our friends names in the next couple of weeks.
At the playdough centre, students are using playdough to create the letters in the alphabet.
The art centre is free choice this week!
At the paint centre, the children are encouraged to mix primary colours to make secondary colours.
At the science centre children are mixing primary colours to make secondary colours.
Children are encouraged to share their creations or what they have learned at the end of centre time. If students want to share they need to sign up and write: I want to share.... And their name.

Mixing Colours
The children were very excited about our new science centre that opened today! We first brainstormed the steps to mix the colours. Then the children drew direction cards for the centre. Next, we set the centre up. Lastly, the centre was so popular we needed to add a sign up board! Ask your child what colours they need to mix together to make green, orange and purple.
