After reading “Perfect Snow”, students became interested in how Barbara Reid used plasticine to make her illustrations. We have been enjoying making our own plasticine illustrations just like Barbara Reid!

With all the puddles we had in our field today, we felt inspired to build boats and see which ones would float. Lots of great discussions around why some of our boats sank and how we will make them better next time!

We got to do our Walking Water science experiment! Students were so surprised to see the water travel up the paper towel and then change colour! We had lots of scientists observing and making predictions about what would happen next. “The colour is soaking everything up!” FK

Today we explored coding to help us retell our read aloud “The Snowy Day”. Students were excited to share what they know about coding and now we are looking forward to learning more about coding!

We have so many builders with big imaginations in our class! RH explained the creation that him and his friends built together, “Its a spaceship that has a soccer field on it and this is where you score a goal”.

After we enjoyed reading our pigeon books we got to play the board game of “Don’t Let The Pigeon Drive The Bus!”. We had to work together and take turns to make sure the pigeon didn’t drive our bus!

We had a great time outside today while working together to paint beautiful art on the big snowballs in our field!

We had lots of fun watching the Berenstain Bears performance today! The characters in the play taught us about the importance of telling the truth!

We have been reading our favourite pigeon books and learning about speech bubbles. Some students felt inspired to write about the pigeon and experiment with speech bubbles in their writing!

Our class has shown an interest in musical instruments! We are learning how to keep the beat and follow each other’s pattern while playing on our drums!

Students enjoy playing in our house on fire where they take on the role of firefighters and act quickly to put out the fire. “Help me put the hose in the window. We need more water!”-MN

[K3 Kinders @KindersK3]

Students have been very excited to discover animal tracks in the snow. “I think these ones are rabbit footprints because I’ve seen rabbit footprints in the snow at my house before. They are close together” JB

LABOUR UPDATE: #WRDSB was not included in the latest #OSSTF job action announcement. Our school day for all our elementary and secondary students will go on as normal on Wednesday, January 15.

As always, we will share information as it comes available. Thanks for your patience.

As well as noticing 2D shapes in our environment, we have also been exploring how we can use 2D shapes to create beautiful pictures!

[K3 Kinders @KindersK3]

After reading about 2D shapes, JC called a teacher over and said “I found a circle and square in my lunch!”. Challenge your child by asking what shapes they can find in their house or even on their morning walk to school!
