We've Got The Moves Like...

There were many smiling faces during our time spent with Yves! The kids had a great time learning new dance moves, striking poses, playing various games, and enjoying the freedom to move however they felt like. 

Look for more fun photos under the tab "photo ops" located just above this entry. Enjoy!

Valentine's Rotations

Valentine's allowed for us to explore some deep lovely thoughts and amazing art. Definitely some "keeper" material was produced!

Using one colour and white to create shades

Deep in thought thinking of the things we love

Using words and pictures

Details, Details, Details...

We always look forward to time spent with our buddies! We frequently talk in class about adding details to our pictures so why not sit down with our buddies to enjoy a great read aloud, find our favourite page, and then recreate the page with our big buddy modeling excellent work! Look at these happy, happy kids!

Ice Experiment

This entry is way overdue and has been sitting waiting to be posted for-ev-er! Love the predictions/possible outcome ideas of what the children will think will happen when salt or sand is added to a block of ice. We predicted, waited an hour, and then made some excellent observations of what we could see and feel. The results on the block of ice are a little tricky to see but the salt is on the left and the sand is on the right. A great discussion of sand/salt trucks followed on the footsteps of this experiment.
