Hello EY1 Families and Friends!
We have been continuing our investigations of the world around us by asking questions and exploring. Our artifacts from home have been an area of much interest. Please remember to bring a “tool” in from home!
We noticed that if we took a flashlight and held it up next to a slide we could see the image on the wall. We then turned out the lights to see better. All of these discoveries and questions came from our artifacts!
We finished working on our colour mixing with Ms. Nicole. We are using some of the things we learned for our assessments for three way conferences! We are looking forward to sharing what we know 🙂
We have been furthering our understanding of ourselves by looking at our faces and then discussing the five senses. We have been using the senses to investigate and ask questions.
We spent several mornings mostly indoors because of the poor air quality. We understand the procedures and also monitor the air quality as it changes. We make all decisions based on the safety and well being of ALL children.
