Thursday -Discovering a rainbow of foods! Students explored local flyers in search of healthy foods of all colours. We discussed how our bodies need nutrients to function, and prepare our brain for learning. We looked at some lunches which included some of these healthy foods! Here are some examples of healthy foods we see in our classroom. Also, some new lunch inspiration! Pete the Cat is always looking for a quiet lap to be read on! Students are eager to read with him each day! We had some intermediate students introduce us Kindies to the collection of toys available for the kids to play with at long recess. We studied the letter 'T/t' and the sound it makes. We decorated our T's with some Tiger Tracks (stripes). Friday What a busy Friday! Orange Shirt Day, Hot Lunch, our first assembly, and Fun Friday! Fewf! Kason was our special helper, and he brought in an awesome helicopter, which he shared with some other students during exploration time. Ben became the teacher during songs time, as I had gotten the song "Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes" beat all wrong. Ben was a great teacher, and slowed down the lyrics for all of us to follow along easily. We may have a future teacher on our hands! We met our buddy class for the first time! Mrs. Lock's Grade 2/3 class visited our room to give the kids some time to meet their new buddies, and for the big buddies to practice their interviewing skills. Unfortunately, our time together was short, and only one picture was captured! We will see them again soon! Some new additions were added to our class: the calm down bottle. Sometimes, all we need are some pretty sparkles to help us to slow down and take deep breaths. The kids use them when the begin to feel anxious, or when they recognize that they have left the green zone. My little helper, Rees! Always willing to help her teacher out. No task is too big, or too small! Friday Kayla was today's special helper, and she brought in a special stuffed lamb which helps her if she's ever in the blue zone. Some fun playing with new centers, and with new friends! We got to meet many more friends after accepting an invitation to visit Mrs. Lyle's K/1 class across the hall! Next time, we will invite them into our room!
