Update on our learning...

In science we went outside and picked a class tree. Our class tree's name is Sparkle. We will follow Sparkle through the different seasons and see if we can notice the changes. Right now we can tell that Sparkle is losing her leaves as they are turning brown, yellow and orange. They are shriveling up  and the wind has brushed them off her branches. We drew what Sparkle looks like in Fall and we will go outside to draw her again in Winter.

We are revisiting our colours unit in science. We mixed yellow and red together to make orange. We painted our pumpkins that we drew and added details with crayon after it dried. We also learned that if we add white to a colour it makes it lighter. If we add black to a colour it makes it darker. We tested it out using the colour red. Look at our great colour variations!

In math we have moved on from our patterns unit to learning about representing numbers 1-20. We have a number of the day that we write the number, the word, fill in our ten frame, and draw a picture of. (See the #5 that we did below). We have talked about how there are many different ways to show numbers such as tally marks or in a ten frame. We have started new math stations in class. We do puzzles, matching games, and find the goldfish.









In LA we have been working on the letters p, t, d, b and a. We had Mrs. Richards come in to teach us a story about each one and show us how there are picture cues in each letter that can remind us of the letter sound. We are now using the lively letters program with her. We have had lots of practice  this week and we encourage you to practice this weekend with the materials we sent home on Wednesday.






In social we are making little books about what groups we belong in. Our first page was about our family. We drew 3 pictures of our family for our little books. Ask me what other groups I belong to.







In art we made torn paper pumpkins! We got to design our own face. Some went with scary and others happy!
