4 Hour Class - We Say Goodbye, and We Say Hello!
October 5, 2014, 12:46 AMAnother week has flown by - and it brought a couple of special people with it!
We said "Hello" to our newest class mates and family members:
Welcome Noa,
And Clayten!
And we said "Goodbye" to Big Blob!
But not before we played with him a few more times!
A cookie for Dominic's mom
A snail
Dominic's new glove
Clayten made some donuts
But sadly, we must say goodbye...
Adam and Ella helped Yvette sweep the floor.
Please don't worry, we are already plannning what the
next batch of space mud will look like!
And now for a glimpse of the past week:

And everyone gets involved!
Adam worked on this pyramid for quite a while -
stacking it in all sorts of new and interesting ways!
Matthew and Patricia read a book on the couch
CIRCLE TIME
We talked about the letter "B"
We generated TWO pages of "B" words!!!
And we started learning about money -
We talked about the difference between coins and bills
And began learning how much each coin and bill was worth -
Everyone seemed very interested, so we will continue with this topic next week!

GARDENING
A special guest, named Mr. Lai, came in to talk to us about gardening.
We harvested wheat which we then planted in our garden boxes and then we
helped shell beans - there was an amazing variety in the colours of the beans we shelled!
The wheat seeds were very tiny and took alot of concentration
These are our garden boxes which live outside on the deck
Gardening is dirty work
So we lined up to wash our hands
Mr. Lai showed us how to shell the beans
And then we got to work
Everyone helped out
And we got to take a bean home after!
Thanks to everyone who helped make this week an extra special one!
I hope the weather holds out again next week so we can have a few more
dry adventures before the rain really sets in!!
Excited, as always,
Nicole
