Centre Fun

Math Centre Fun

-         -We have been investigating how to compose and decompose quantities to 10

-         -We have been investigating addition and subtraction 

-        We can investigate some concepts of quantity through identifying and comparing sets with more, fewer, or the same number of objects

 

-We can recognize some quantities without having to count. 

-We can demonstrate our understanding of counting concepts. 

-We are able to estimate the number in a small set

Literacy Fun

We can retell the story The Three Billy Goats Gruff.

Our Circle Art Inquiry

We are exploring circles at the art centre

Our New Learning
-"We can make abstract art with circles"
-"We can use circles to make things in our paintings"
-"bingo dabbers make circle prints"
-"a lid is a good circle tool"
-"We can make prints with a lid"
-"We can use lots of circles"
-"We can use different colours to make cirlce paintings" 

We wonder:
- What other objects can we make cirlce prints with?
- What other types of circles can we make?
- What other materials can we use to make circles?
- What artists use circles in their art?

 

 We will continue to explore circles at the art centre this month! Stay tuned!

We took a class survey. Most students like Kandinsky's circle art. 5 students do not like Kandisnky's circle art.

"We made 15 circles!"

Our Kandinsky inspired art!

Our collaborative art project for the Spring Fling Art Show!

Our Train Inquiry

We love reading and retelling the story Dino Train. The book sparked a train inquiry at various centres around the classroom. 

First, we read books about trains to decide what we need at a train station. Next, we made plans to show what our train station will need. Then, we created a train station at the building centre and our dramatic play centre. 

Trains at the Math Centre

We made trains at the math centre. First, we decided what we could carry in each car. Next, we counted how many things were in each car. Then, we measured the length of each train!
