Wednesday in the Classroom

We had a lot of learning today. Take a look!

We have a new centre. Yesterday while I was asking students what they learned at centres J.S. said "I learned when we read the book called "Plants in Spring" that seeds don't just need water to grow, they also need sunlight. G.F. then said "Seeds also need soil to live".  Another student said "NO! Seeds don't need soil to grow". This led to can argument about whether seeds need or don't need soil to grow. We took a survey and students to see what most students' opinion was about this. After that we put wet paper towel into a cup with a bean seed. Now students will be able to see for themselves if seeds need soil to grow!

 

We also did some journal writing today. 

Students have been using books regularly in our class to make plans to help them build and create. Students have also been using books to get new ideas and discover new information. G.F. was using a body book to teach herself how to do new exercises!

 Q.G. made a plan of his latest spinner, before creating it!

M.D build a great tower today! He said that he was going to measure it!

 Students also created play dough animals using a clay book we left at the centre.

 Other students built structures at the sand table. 

                                 Students made some special cards today at the writing table.

 Many students used cubes with letters on them to make their name. A.J. made her brother's name!

                                                R.T. made a great creation at the light table.

G.D. made some more dessert squares for our home centre. G.D. is such a great baker. She shared with me that she loves to bake at home. I think I may go visit so I can get some real dessert from her! :)
