What a great week we had. We began our week with a fun trip to Happy Boat Kindergarten where we planted seeds with our new friends. Those flower pots went home with the children on Monday. Don’t forget to water them every 5-7 days and keep them in sunlight.
Before kicking off our new IEYC unit we made a lovely spring craft of coffee filter butterflies. They turned out so beautifully!
We had a fun time in PE. We stayed indoors this week because the weather on Tuesday was not cooperative. Among the activities we did, we used a video working to do calisthenics and construct a paper airplane. The children got a great working and had lots of fun.
On Wednesday we kicked off our IEYC unit To The Rescue! All about superheroes. As Ms. M was cleaning around her desk she found a surprise box left hidden for us. But the Supervillan The Mighty Freeze came in and stole it from us. We followed The Mighty Freeze’s snowflake track around the school and recovered the box. Inside were superhero masks which we decorated. We will be making a more intensive superhero costume in the coming weeks.
In the days following we read some Superhero themed story books such as Supertato and Super Daisy. In these stories we learned a lot about different vegetables and rescued the food from the Evil Peas. We made clay vegetables and painted our own versions of Planet Pea using green paint mixed with various substances such as rice, flour, and sand to make textured paint.
We did some whole-group maths and phonics this week. Small groups will be starting soon.
During homework sharing time those friends who brought in their Spring Break News had a great time sharing their vacations with the class. Everyone did exciting activities on break!
And of course, we had lots of great developmental play time.
That’s it for this week. We’ll have more exciting superhero adventures next week! Rest well and we’ll see you on Monday!
