The JK students, along with the rest of the school, had a fantastic time skating on the Canada 150 rink last week!

The JK students came up with a list of possible jobs of people in a community and using what they came up with, I created a form that they would use to get information from their school mates as to what they wanted to be when they grew up. If what they wanted to be was not on the list, the JK kids made an X on the bottom of the page to represent 'other'. So we went around the school and gathered all the information we could before going back to class and making one main graph to represent all the info we got. We found that there were many community jobs that we had not come up with! Later, we practiced making bar graphs and collecting info on our little chalk boards.
The JK kids along with their SK, Grade 1 and 2 friends had a fantastic visit at fire station 21 this past Monday!
This morning, we looked at and talked about the pictures of kids going to school in different places around the globe. Before we started, we put on our observation glasses so we didn't miss anything! Our main focus was to look for things that were the same or different form our school community. After looking through many of the pictures in the book, we wrote down a couple of our observations. We noticed that in many parts of the world, children's school life and school community looks much like ours, but there were lots of different things as well. Over the next week, we'll continue looking at the rest of the pictures and we'll write down more observations so we can come to a conclusion as to whether school communities around the world differ from our own or not.
This morning, our math activity was all about the game Mystero. This time, however, we made our own Mystero playing cards! I did an example before the kids began to make their own. They did so well, very creative representations of numbers 1 through 9.
From the collection of défi math games for preschool and kindergarten kids, Mystero is a fun game that develops our concept of numbers. Additionally, it helps develop reasoning skills, perseverance, and observational skills.
