Bakery

The children in room 1 have been showing an interest in the recipe books that we have in the dramatic play centre.  They have been cooking and baking during their free play time. After a class discussion, we decided to change our drama centre into a bakery! We began this process by creating a web of things that we think we need for our bakery. We can't wait to start baking!!!

Emily Carr

In Room 1 we have been noticing changes in the trees. Leaves are changing colour and falling to the ground.  We decided to study an artist who often painted trees. Her name is Emily Carr. We viewed some of her paintings, talked about the colours and lines we noticed and then painted our own trees. We also learned there are different kinds of trees. Here are some of the things the kinders know about trees:
Haley - "The needle ones and the big bushy tree."
Ava - "The leaves are changing colours."
Phoenix - "The leaves turn brown."
Miguel - "The leaves turn red and green and yellow."
Kara - "The pokey trees have green needles all year".
Kaycie - "Leaves fall off the trees and they change to purple sometimes."
Eunice - "The leaves are turning pink and orange.

International Dot Day

We celebrated International Dot Day today. Dot Day is inspired by the story "The Dot" by Peter H Reynolds. People all around the world are encouraged to embrace their creativity just like Vashti did in the book. In Kindergarten I often hear "I can't", but we are working toward "I'll try" instead!
