Our First visit to Maple Lane Senior Centre
/Turning a Plastic Sheet into a “Beading Sheet”
The children were very excited to be taking the transit to visit with
the Seniors. At the bus stop a
discussion began about going on the bus for the first time. Here is some of the
comments they made to each other.
Lily - My mom and I always take the bus I know what to do.
Aleah - I have never taken the
bus.
Mia - I think maybe I have been inside the bus before.
Anthony – Where is the bus? We are waiting.
Once we got to the Senior's centre, the children acted out their own version of the story, "The Big Pumpkin"
for the Seniors.
Back at the classroom, we hung a plastic sheet with beads in a bowl. The children began to drop the beads through the clear plastic.

The children made quite a few rows of beads in an hour. Some of the children were curious to see how many beads were in each row. Part of the learning outcome of dropping beads into a plastic sheet as measuring tallest to shortest and then counting. What a fun way to learn math.
