Guided Discovery

Every morning we have about 15 minutes of Guided Discovery. Guided Discovery is essentially small group centres that the children explore with the guidance of an adult. New toys, games and activities are introduced to the class this way. There are 6 centres set up and each group explores one centre per day. Below are some pictures of this week's centres.

 

Our Alphabet

This year instead of using a store bought alphabet chart I decided to involve the children in Room 1. Check out some of the letters in our awesome alphabet!

Emily Carr

On Friday the class studied the Canadian artist, Emily Carr. After viewing her artwork and learning about her life, we painted our own trees. Ask your child to tell you about Emily Carr!

Summer Fun

Hi everyone. I hope you are all having a super summer. I know I am. Can't wait to see you in September!

Georgia O'Keeffe Flowers

These flowers were inspired by our study of Georgia O'Keefe.

We also learned about cool and warm colours. Each student chose to make their flower using either cool or warm colours. They also made a pattern in their flowers!

We used watercolour markers. They are very vibrant.

Exploring Clay Video

Today we had TIA (The Integrated Arts) with Ms. Brown. We played with clay. We also sketched our faces. We will see Ms. Brown again tomorrow. Below is a video of some pictures of us creating with clay.
