The Pom-Pom Table

The children arrived today to see that the sand table had been transformed to a sensory table filled with POM-POMS.  With great excitement the news spread quickly and soon there were MANY children gathered around the table.

The children decided that we should make a few rules.  We will be recording these for our future reference on our next school day.

The children sorted pom-poms, used the tweezers to pick up pom-poms, strengthening their fine motor muscles and skills. They pretended they were making popcorn and the exploration continues. Here are a few photos capturing the fun and exploration.

    

Any pom-pom donations would be greatly appreciated!

Changes Around Us

The children have been learning to notice, and discuss the changes that are occurring around us. Through investigations that emerged from the children's interests, to planned experiences and learning opportunities that the children have just embraced we continue on our kindergarten learning journey.

Here are a few areas of focus from our classroom during the month of October.

                                    

I can discuss things that are happening outside.
I can ask questions too!

I can sort and name a sorting rule.

We created another new class book!

                   

This month I have sent home a learning story for each of the children in our Kindergarten classroom. These stories give you insight to the kinds of experiences that happen in our learning environment on a daily basis.  The children are very amazing and a joy to watch play, learn and grow.

We Are Authors!

The children are quite proud of their first class book.  After talking about how we are changing and growing we read the book The Best Part of Me: Children talk about their bodies in pictures and words by Wendy Ewald  The children loved the idea of creating their own book.  We worked as a team to take pictures of our favourite body parts.  We wrote some amazing things about our bodies and the amazing way that God made them.  Our book is a true celebration of each of us!
I have included a few pages for you to preview.  Please pop in our classroom to check it out!
