A Birthday Party for Bear! A Phonemic Awareness Activity!

We went to bear's birthday party in the park. We read a story and sang Happy Birthday to bear.

Then we pulled out letters from a hat and thought of items that would be at a birthday party that started with that letter.

Next we went on a scavenger hunt!

Looking for clues!

Last week we had a visit from Blue. He left us some clues................

The first clue was


:


Ethan and Owen - it is a pumpkin cracker
William - it stains berries
Raena and Kaleb - makes cakes
Sophie - makes raspberries into juice
Ellie - pie maker
Aliah - a fruit holder
Brittan - making jelly
Nathan - to put cookies in

The second clue was:

Chad - a can of juice

William - bagels

Kaleb - makes bread

Ethan - cookies

Nemma chips that makes balls

Sohpie and Nathan - chips

The third clue was:

We all knew this was butter.

We used these clues to figure out what we would be doing. Our thoughts were:

Kylee and Braeden - soup

Mia and Anna - bread

Nemma and Owen - gingerbread house

Cooper - pumpkin pie

Ethan - pumpkin bread

We were making Monkey Bread to share with our friends next door who were making pizza bread to share with us!

First we mixed sugar and cinnamon and rolled pieces of country biscuit in the sugar mix. 

Next we put the balls into the pan and poured a mixture of melted butter and brown sugar on top. Most of us thought it wouldn't be very good to eat.........

After it came out of the oven we took it next door and shared it with our friends who had made pizza bread.   It was very good.

Literacy is Everywhere!

We have been having fun going on our neighbourhood walks.  We have been learning letters, sounds, words and meaning of signs. Here is some of our findings.  Take your family for a walk and see what you can find.

Meeting Dunk the Robot

Today some of our Senior Kindergarten students explored coding with Dunk the Robot.  They wondered how fast he could go? Will he dance? How far will he go. Using the GoApp to drive Dunk, they tested his speed. Then they decided to guess how far Dunk would go by estimating and then counting the number of steps he moved from the iPad.
