Fun Friday

This morning, we read an information book on trees. We now know the parts of the tree - the bark, the roots, the veins in the leaves. We did surveys asking our classmates what their favorite season is, and painted fall harvest pictures.

Busy Wednesday

This morning we read a story about sunflowers and talked about a Van Gogh

painting of sunflowers we had seen in some of our previous stories.  Mme.Chantal 

brought in some sunflowers and a yellow vase for us to draw at the art center.  This also led to a conversation about science as we laid out pieces of the stems and our friends noticed there was water inside.  We began asking why? and learnt the plants drink water through the stem like a straw for the flower to drink.We continued to work on our fine motor skills by cutting, making shapes, and stamping word in playdough. We worked on math and the alphabet by matching tangram shapes to make letters and fall pictures.
