This week we created some spooky features to incorporate into our burgeoning neighborhood model and also focused on transit options with train tunnels, maglev track, and an underground structure! Ms Vanessa led the class in Yoga, Mr. Anthony inspired the students to furnish a room with their favorite things, and we began a new type of writing Grab Bag Stories. It was an exciting week and one full of discovery and friendship. Please check out the collages below!

October 25th – Art with Mr. Anthony

October 27th – Game Friday

Another wonderfully full week in Mr. David’s class. We discussed our home neighborhoods and the neighborhoods that we’ve been building in class. We expanded on the neighborhood theme and began talking about how a village develops. We incorporated streets, railways, bridges, theaters, and parks into a larger entity on the rug. In Mr. Anthony’s art class we created lifelike animals and people using plasticine. Literacy saw Mr. David’s class responding thoughtfully to the characters and themes in books. During Game Friday we explored favorite games that friends brought in, games that challenged eye-hand co-ordination, and games that challenged the mind. I’m looking forward to another awesome week. Enjoy the collages below!

October 17th – Structures and Word Work

October 18th – Art with Mr. Anthony

October 19th – Planning a Village

October 20th – Game Friday

Another short, but full week in Mr. David’s class. We worked constructing card stock structures and neighborhoods on Tuesday and Thursday afternoon during theme time. Literacy saw Mr. David’s class delving deeper into word work, sorting words based on vowel pronunciation and beginning letters, writing, and discovering new words. In Mr. Anthony’s art class we explored perspective through the examination and discussion of visual artwork and the creation of our own. During Game Friday we worked with cubelets, designing robots that move, respond to the external environment, and even draw! We also played games in Ms. Maria’s Mystery Room!

Last week was busy, short and exciting! We explored Yoga with Ms Vanessa; crossing streams on stepping stones, posing, and making bridges. Literacy time saw a focus on Word Work; discovering pronunciation, spelling, and sorting of words based on different variables. During Art with Mr. Anthony the children continued working on their rock art. We spent a little extra time in the afternoon before pickup each day building our classroom community on the Playground. It was a wonderful four days!
