"Rainbow Day"

 Good afternoon! A gloomy Tuesday morning turned into an exciting day of fun.  It started off in the gym with a fun game of baseball.  There was a lot of laughter, shouting and shrieking among all the friends as they took turns at batting and then running the bases.  So, so much fun!


Back in the classroom, the children could hardly wait to begin making rainbows with M&M's. During the meeting they discussed different ways to make rainbows throughout the room.   

EF - "It could be a rainbow day!"

AV - "We can use the painted blocks on the brown carpet to make a rainbow."
EF - "Maybe we could use the rainbow materials to make a rainbow circle or a real rainbow."

EmO - "Maybe we can use the rainbow cups."

NP - "Can we use clay to make a rainbow circle or a real rainbow?"

RN - After we make the rainbows with the M&M's can we eat them?

GNF - "Yes! But only the ones we didn't use to make the rainbow."



GNF examines the container of M&M's. I think there will be enough for everyone to eat, he says.




EmO - "Mmmmm, they smell so good and they smell like chocolate!"







Finally!  We enjoyed some delicious M&M's!







“I made a J”





Everyone had such a rainbowy fun day on this cloudy Tuesday!!

 Have a wonderful afternoon!

Lunar New Year

Image
Good afternoon, Oak Room Family! The children have been learning about lunar new year and after the children helped repair Ms Lena’s lion last week we were able to do a lion dance as a class today.  The children listened to their own heartbeats while calm and after jumping around and then used instruments to act as the lion’s heartbeat fast and slow for different feelings of the lion. Today is the first day of Lunar New Year and the beginning of the year of the wood snake. We also enjoyed small capers today and practiced a fire drill.  We wish you a healthy and prosperous new year and hope that like the snake you can shed and leave behind that which you don’t want to bring with you into the new year!

Self Portrait Work & Another Guest Reader

Good afternoon, Oak room families! Today some children had the opportunity to work on their self portrait paintings. It is amazing to see the amount of growth in the children's detailed work since we first did this project in the Fall! We are excited to put our pictures on these pieces and get them displayed soon. We also had another fabulous guest reader this morning! G.B.'s mom came and read a few stories to the class. Thank you so much for visiting, Ms. Kylie! Friends had some fun in the gym this morning, too. It's hard to be stuck inside during these rainy Spring days, but we are making the most of our indoor spaces. It was a fantastic morning! Have a wonderful evening!
