Literacy Hour...Part 2!

We still have an opening for our next Parent Literacy Hour on Friday, February 13th from 1:00-1:45. If you are interested in joining us for this special event please let us know asap. Looking forward to another fun read-a-thon.

It's a bird! It's a plane!...No its Superkids!

This week we celebrated Super Heroes!


      

The students engaged in imaginative play with the superhero costumes.


There was a lot of fine motor practice in our craft centre. The students decorated, coloured and cut out masks and super hero pictures.
   
In our reading station we had many leveled super hero readers, picture books and creative stories.


  Our builders made a home for the heroes!


Superhero to the rescue!

Fun in the Snow!

More birthday fun!

We need a sign!

"At my party we will have pin the nose on OLAF!. Can we make one please?"

           

It's present time! The children made cards and wrapped gifts. I overheard the mom at the table say,    
 "What a lovely card, that was so thoughtful! " 

With all of the the birthday excitement, we decided to make a cake! ( Banana muffins to be exact. But if you ask the children it was cake. )

We gathered the ingredients.

We measured.

We mixed.

Then for the good part, the children really enjoyed tasting their work!

So you say it's your Birthday...

 There was a lot of excitement in the house center this week. Upon further investigation, I found out that the children were planning a party. In fact, there were multiple parties being planned at the same time.

Listening in on their conversations I heard:

" Hurry up guys, we have a lot to do!" 

"The baby is down for her nap and now we can make the snacks."

"Hurry, the guests will be here a 2:00."

They wanted to make invitations.

Great printing practise.

"We need to decorate!"

               

They made balloons out of paper and cut them out too!

Some of the children said the balloons needed numbers on them.

Some wrote Happy Birthday on theirs.

" I drew a picture of my Mom so she can be at the party too!"

" 2 candles because she is two today!"

                    

This very determined girl wanted her balloons to stay up. I asked her what she could use in the classroom to help her ballon stay up. "A ruler" was the perfect tool for this problem solving girl!!

It may look messy but it was so much fun and what's even better is that a lot of valuable learning was taking place within their play!

I wonder what we will learn next?!?!
