Directed Drawing – Dragons
On Tuesdays each week we have a directed drawing lesson. As it will be Lunar New Year this coming Friday, our lesson this Tuesday was a dragon.
The students did such a great job that they needed to be on display! They are on the bulletin board in the hallway between our classroom and the Office.
A Few Words About Penguins
This week we created little booklets containing some facts about penguins. These are folded, accordion-style, and are attached to cut-out King penguins.
We also created cute penguins out of looped construction paper. These are both adorning our classroom bulletin board.
Growth Chart
Clouds were added to our growth chart for each student at their current height. Penguins were also added at their typical height.
Students enjoyed seeing how they ‘measured up’ to both their classmates and the penguins.
Students will be measured again in June to see how much they will have grown in height.
Penguin Art
Last week we painted colourful background papers onto which we (this week) mounted the penguins that were made from construction paper. Some students decided to add extra feathers and colourings to make their penguins into Rockhopper or Macaroni penguins. These are on the bulletin board in the hallway outside of our classroom.
PENGUINS🐧
Pringle, the Penguin arrived on January 13 in a very cold box from the South Pole. Along with Pringle we received the novel “Mr. Popper’s Penguins”. Due to Covid-19 restrictions this year we are not able to send home the actual stuffy. Instead students are taking home a laminated photo with an individual Journal page for students to record their fun and experiences with Pringle. When they bring them back the next day they share their Journal entry with the class as part of our daily Calendar time.
Along with Pringle, a few other penguins have joined our class for the next two months while we study all about penguins.
