Snow finally came!
After the Family Day weekend we finally had a snow storm and the whole school took advantage of it to get outside and get some exercise.
We split into our stable groups to move around to different stations for snow activities.
Building snow forts,...
...creating Snow Statues,...
... and sliding down the hill on crazy carpets!!
A lot of cooperation and team work happened that day!
This week we were also busy creating robots out of recyclables.
Some students created a structure of foam blocks. They found it wobbly so they tried different ideas to stabilize the base, then they could add to the "factory".
Other students started creating a wide road for the wide vehicle they were using. As they worked, they added much more and every time they were working on it, they changed something or made the structure into something new. One part even included "car couches"!
A few students found the stool with a magnifying glass in it. They went exploring around the room to find things they had not noticed before.
One of our activities this week was hanging mittens on a clothes line in numerical order.
How high can your child count independently?
Do they recognize numbers between 1-10, 10-20 or even up to 30?
How about out of order?
Can they print numbers correctly?
