Welcome to MWF Fine Arts / Science & Nature class! We
have all adjusted quite quickly to our classroom routine and environment. We
are ready to play, observe, and learn. We are getting to know each other and
forming friendships.
As autumn arrived, we noticed many changes to our
weather. Our children noticed that the weather has become cooler than when we
first started school. We also noticed that the trees have been changing on our
drive to and from school.
To observe our environment, we went for a walk around the
community centre. We discovered that many leaves have fallen to the ground -
some fresh and some dry. There were many more colours of leaves other than green, red, orange, yellow,
and brown.
We collected leaves for further observation in the
classroom. The children were inspired by the leaves and we painted our
impressions of leaves on trees. Some children painted leaves on the tree and
some children painted leaves on the ground. Other children noticed the leaves
being blown by the wind. Each painting was unique to their own view and
experience.
We have also been very busy learning in the classroom. Here are some of the other activities happening in class:
 |
| Experimenting with Baking Soda and Vinegar |
 |
| Collaborative Artwork |
Working on sensory play.
 |
| Felt Board Social Story Play |
 |
| Reading at the book corner |
As we come upon our harvest season, we have been talking about apples and pumpkins. We will be updating you soon about our Pumpkin Patch field trip.
