Notes about our Week
•We played a game called “Which one doesn’t belong?” with pictures of patterns. We further developed our knowledge of patterns by examining how patterns can be made with a variety of materials and made in different ways (e.g., colour, position, size, etc.)
•We use sponges to paint patterns.
•We experimented with markers and water on coffee filters. We used our coffee filters to make butterflies.
•We read many stories about feelings and talked about when we may feel each way.
•We were introduced to the “Zones of Regulation” and identified which emotion fits into each area. Green is when we are feeling happy, proud, calm, alert and ready to learn. Blue is when we are feeling tired, sick, sad or moving slow. Yellow is when we are frustrated, worried, silly or excited. Red is when were are angry, terrified, or out of control.
•We continued to examine caterpillars and the life cycle of butterflies and moths.
