A Walking Field Trip...?

 Good afternoon, Oak room families! We spent our morning in our classroom due to the rainy weather and children explored a variety of invitations. At our class meeting, we discussed whether or not children had been to the library before:


Many of our friends had visited a library before, which prompted our next question: 
"what can you find at the library?"

N.S. "books!"
A.M. "newspapers"
P.L. "sometimes I find toys."
L.S. "I have a toy sink at my library."
W.C. "dino books!"

We decided that there was much more to discover at a library besides books. Some friends said they drive to their library, while others said that it is so close that they can walk! This made us think... is there a library close to our school that we could walk to? Hmmm.. I wonder!

A few pictures from our discoveries this morning:






Have a great night!

Reminder that there is no school for students tomorrow for a work day for teachers. Have a wonderful long weekend!

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

Image
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!
