The Grade 5 students are our Reading Buddies. They help us return and choose our Library Books then read with us. Elbow to elbow, knee to knee the book in the middle so we both can see.
The first hour of school, we choose activities that interest us. Play and Exploration recognises that when children are engaged and active they are learning. Much of their play involves muscle development. Small muscles are engaged in colouring, gluing, playdough making, manipulating small items and even popping bubble wrap. Interacting develops language, social and emotional skills. New friendships form every day.
One of our favourite activities is the colour and cut activity we do almost every day. The products are things like leaves, grass and bugs that we add to our TREE MURAL in the hallway.
