Sochi 2014

The kinders are crazy about the Winter Olympics! Every morning we get updates from a very excited group!  We have started keeping track of Canada's medals and we are going to add Russia and some other countries we are familiar with.  Daily events will also be posted  so we can keep track of our athletes.   Take a look at the Olympic posters we made today below and stay tuned for more Olympics!

Valentine's Day!!!

Valentine's day is fast approaching and we are getting ready with our valentine gift/bake shop, chocolate playdough and by making our special valentine bags.  If your kinder would like to hand out valentine cards to their friends they are more than welcome to on Friday.   We ask that you only write who the valentine is from so we can distribute them faster and make sure no one feels left out.  We have 28 kinders who are very excited!  Thank you for your cooperation.

Extending our learning on slush......

At circle time we all came together to talk about what happened at the science table.  We had a great talk about temperature and freezing.  W.T. had the wonderful idea to freeze the slush to see what will happened. Stay tuned for that tomorrow.  Another kinder mentioned that the slush reminded them of snow cones, so this afternoon we set up a snow cone station.  We were able to explore slush even more while watching colours mixing together.  Here are the messy pictures!

Exploring Slush

Yesterday the kinders became very curious about slush while we were talking about snow.  This morning we added a big bucket of snow to a bin of water.  We noticed how the snow absorbed the water and turned it into slush.  We also noticedl how the water got cold and this was causing the snow to stay slushy and not melt.  KK discovered that the slush was heavier than the snow.  We had a great time making discoveries about slush!! Take a look at the pictures below!
