PlayingWithLightning

We started our first day together by reading ‘Our Class Is A Family’ and making matching friendship bracelets! Pink is for kindness, Blue is for fairness, Orange is for helpfulness, Green is for respect and Yellow is for caring. 🩷💙🧡💚💛

We love mini erasers for sorting and patterning!

“Leaf Man” is always a great book to share with students to inspire their creativity.

Spooky Skeletons! Students have been building skeletons and counting bones.

We are lucky to have these beautiful woods nearby for us to explore. A class walk in the forest was perfect for Take Me Outside Day. 🍂 🍁 🍃

Tomorrow is Picture Day at St. Paul!

@Roomtoplay @PlayOutsideUBC I may have some that would work

Whose egg is this? 🥚 We had a lot of fun guessing what might have been inside this egg! #inquiry #invitationtowonder #kindergarten #aneggisquiet

Our beautiful crosses went home today! We love how these turned out! 💜

Egg Cracking Addition! Students practiced addition by cracking two eggs and counting the items inside. We used ten frames and number lines to support their learning. #mathbehaviours #kindergartenmath

Painting rabbits! 🐰

We have been making beautiful eggs with loose parts. This invitation encourages creativity, counting and patterning, builds fine motor muscles and can be very calming for students! #kindergarten #invitationtocreate #looseparts

More Easter story telling. This time we set out some peg people and a few loose parts. Here, students recreated Jesus’ Triumphal Entry. #Easter #literacybehaviours #storytelling #biblestories

Telling Easter stories - students used stones, sticks and cedar to recreate parts of the story of Easter. Thanks to @earlyyearsoutdoor for the inspiration and story cards! #kindergarten #literacybehaviours #easterkindergarten #storytelling

Exploring measurement. Students used a variety of materials to compare height and put items in order from tallest to smallest. #mathbehaviours #kindergartenmath

Spring storytelling with loose parts! #literacybehaviours #kindergartenstorytelling

No tech coding! Help the wise men get to the star! ⭐️ #kindergartencoding #notechcoding #mathbehaviours #christmastime🎄

In the spirit of Christmas, we made gifts for our reading buddies. Our students were so proud to give their buddy the ornament they made! #seasonofgiving #kindergarten #christmas #readingbuddies #belongingandcontributing

@NicoleFurfaro2 @nikifurfaro @FalconFeat Did you use sugar glue?!? 😂

We had lots of festive fun making gingerbread houses with our Reading Buddies today! A fun and yummy way to build collaboration and community! 🎄❤️🎄 @nikifurfaro @FalconFeat

Counting Christmas collections! Practicing and strengthening counting skills by opening a gift and counting what’s inside. #mathbehaviours #kindergarten #christmas
