Bats!

We are investigating BATS! The kids are so excited about it! We made baby sock bats to hang from the ceiling. We are experimenting, reading, writing and much more! 

Here is a photo of my little "bats" showing what it looks like in the bat cave during the day! 

We did a cool experiment with a slinky! It demonstrates echolocation! You can see how excited the kids were by the looks on their faces! Love it!

We were given a Unicorn! We named it Blue. We can sit on him to read. He's popular! Thank you to Ms. Carey! 

We are learning about patterns!

Math is fun! This whole month we have been exploring and learning all about patterns. We have talked about patterns repeat and that every pattern has a pattern core. We can describe patterns with letters like ABB or ABC the possibilities are endless! 
We read several stories about patterns. We read one story that we thought was so funny, so that sparked our creativity to make patterned underpants! 
The bulletin board looks so cute! 

Brand New School Year!

After a wonderful and relaxing summer...It's a new school year! I have been so, so busy! This year I have a huge class of 25 very busy kids. They are keeping me on my toes. I am working so hard to teach them the routines of the classroom. They really need to learn to keep their hands and feet to themselves! Hopefully the commitments we make daily will "click"! 

Science is so fun! It is one of my favourite subjects to teach. 
This is a wonderful way to introduce colour mixing in a cool way! I provided each group of two kids with vinegar coloured with liquid watercolour and a tray full of baking soda. First we predicted what we thought might happen and then we tried it out! So fun to listen to the children's excited voices as they make their discoveries! 

We will be doing many more fun experiments with colour and I will add more photos as we do the experiments!
