Thumbs Up Thursday

After a busy week, we got back to work in our own classroom this morning. After morning tubs, we discussed our favourite parts from Mr. Stockton's performance on Tuesday as he had left us homework to draw our favourite parts using our imaginations of what we saw in our heads.

I liked when...

-The eagle saw the fire everywhere- Presley

-Grandma Spider goes over the hill and sees the fire- Owin

-The eagle's head is on fire- Ryleigh

-The eagle burns his wings and his head- Kaeson

-The grandmother spider brings back the fire.  All the animals say OOH La La -Kyle

-Bear burn his tail off- Quinn, Sadie

-Grandmother spider sees the fire- Tristan

-The eagle burned the feather on his head- Ronan

-The eagle burned his beautiful feathers off- Karis

-The eagle went to see the fire- Hannah

-The eagle burned his colourful feathers on his head- Winston

-Grandmother spider always walks slowly- Eldana

-The bear chops off his tail from the fire and came running back the animals- Bennett

-The bear burned his tail- Braelyn, Jemika, Mekaeel

-The bear burned all of his hear- Lincoln

We did a great job turning these ideas into drawings that represented the dark world the the animals lived in before Grandmother Spider brought the sun, moon, stars and fire back to the animals. 

We also began to show how numbers can be represented in a number of ways but still stay the same number. Using different sized birds, we each cut out 5 birds, coloured them and then placed them on a branch. During the activity, Mrs. Patten asked us to show how we knew which 5 birds we wanted. We will now be using the art pieces to talk about different ways that 5 can be shown. 

How to extend my learning at home:

- use a variety of materials to represent the numbers 2, 3, 4, 5 in different ways. Discuss the ways that the objects are arranged.

Reminders;

AM kindergarten attends tomorrow, Friday, January 18th

Kind regards, 

Mrs. Patten
