Learning About the World Around Us

Welcome to November!
We received and opened a new Little Passports package today. Sam and Sophia wrote to us about their adventures in Tokyo, Japan! They sent us a picture of a really cool Japanese castle, origami paper, their boarding pass, stickers, and an eraser in the shape of sushi. We also looked at our Little Passports world map today to talk about where the World Wars took place. We also watched a video about poppies that was based out of Scotland, so we looked that up too!
 
Our main activity today was a buddy activity with the Grade 12 class. The students worked together to make wreaths for our Remembrance Day Program on Thursday.

Students traced their handprints.



They glued their handprints and some construction paper poppies onto a pie plate.

Afterward, the Grade 12s read books to their Kindergarten partners.
Those who finished earlier than others helped me with completing some self-assessments for the end of Term One.




We also started to practice our poem that we will be reciting with the Grade One and Two classes at the Remembrance Day ceremony. They are a lot better at memorizing the words than I am!

 
They day was over in a flash!
Here's to an exciting month ahead. :)
