Spring is coming !

Today at school we read a book called "The Dot".

It is a book about a young girl who doesn't think she is an artist, but then realizes that anything can be art, even a dot !  Art can be anything you create. When you create anything, you are an artist...and don't forget to put your name on it !  At the Art centre we showed our creativity starting with a blank piece of paper and...a dot !

At the Math centre we made creations using straws and connectors.  Many friends realized that there were many shapes like squares, rectangles and triangles in their constructions.  We will start to explore shapes a little more when we come back from March break.

At the writing centre, many friends enjoyed writing in their writing notebooks.  We are practicing to write on the lines, use spaces between words, and end sentences with a period.  We are getting so much better at writing !

We are still enjoying playing at the beach in our dramatic play center.  We are imagining that the weather on our beach is sunny and warm, in anticipation of spring!  Mrs R brought in a picture and put in on the waves of our beach mural.  It is a picture of her shaking the fins of a dolphin from her Florida vacation...we love it !!

We hope everyone has a restful, enjoyable and safe March break !  See you back at school on Monday March 23rd .
