Friday October 23

Today was a great day at school!  It was very exciting to have all our friends at school at the same time!  

We had our first virtual Peace Assembly.  A Peace Assembly happens usually once a month where classes at the school take turns sharing what they are learning and remind us of ways we can help to build peaceful communities.  We watched in the gym as students from Ms. Huebner/Mrs. Cox grade 3/4 class presented on the smart board.  We learned the song "I've Got Peace in My Fingers"  Peace in my Fingers.  This song is very important to EHS as it reminds us of how we can help to build peaceful communities at Eric Harvie.  We will sing this song many times this year.

We had fun exploring Halloween activities today!  We read a couple of pumpkin stories. We used yarn to lace pumpkins and then we added faces to turn our pumpkins into jack-o-lanterns.    We read Pete the Cat and the Five Little Pumpkins Pete the Cat.  We drew five little pumpkins in our journals.  We practiced coloring in the lines after we drew the pumpkin shape.  We counted the pumpkins and wrote the numbers, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

We started learning about 2d and 3d shapes. The children were given popsicle sticks and pipe cleaners and had to make as many shapes as they could. We talked about each shape and what it looks like. We played shape games with a partner where one partner drew a shape and the other had to ask yes or no questions to try and figure out what the shape is. For example, "Does it have 4 corners?" "Does it have 3 sides?" etc.  We continued to work on our penguin dioramas.  We had music and gym. Ask your child what they did with Mrs. Coulson and Mr. Der? Wednesday is PINK shirt day. Please wear pink in support of always treating others with kindness.   Friday is an AM kindergarten day.  Please practice our penguin song at home:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QvdngdI506U  Happy Feet - The Song Of The Heart Movie - Happy Feet 2006 Singer - Prince www.youtube.com                          ...
