Chicka Chicka Boom
Boom Name Trees
This week, students
had a must-do that used ALL the skills they've been learning since September.
After reading a story about the alphabet letters climbing a coconut tree, the
students added fall leaves to a Canadian-style tree with the letters of their name
on them. They had to colour the tree, count the number of letters in their
name, print a letter on each leaf, cut out the leaves, arrange them in the
order of the letters in their name, and glue them securely to their tree
picture! Well done! And...students were very excited to remind their teachers
that they had "no chicken wings" while they used their scissors. Not
sure what that means? Ask your child to tell you about 6 star cutting!
Brush Brush Brush Your Teeth! This week we explored many activities and lessons about being healthy. We started with how to keep our teeth healthy. We read stories, watched videos to learn about cavities and eating foods that are good for our teeth. Ask your child about the "2" Rule for healthy teeth.
We read a book called "Ollie the Boy Who Became What He Ate" and then we tried to make ourselves turn into an Ollie pop by picking a good food that would give us lots of "power" or energy.
Germs vs Soap We also learned about keeping those pesky germs away using soap. Germs like to hang out on our hands and make us unhealthy. But Soap is to the rescue...have your child show you the steps to washing the germs from your hands.
