Teddy Bear Art

We have been reading a big book called "The Bears' Picnic" written by Joy Cowley.
Today we drew teddy bears and alligators.
Harry: I did drawing and I was bored and I was so tired because I  had to work sooooo hard to cover up the white. I was good at covering up my green line with a tail - tricky. I made a mistake and I turned it into a tail!
Connor: I took a long time to make my teddy bear.
Alec: I did a REALLY big teddy bear and it took me a long time to make. I really liked the way I made the crocodile and my rock.
Tahlia: My teddy bear was going on a picnic. The first part he was going to the beach then he went to the woods.
Ella: I felt happy when I looked at my teddy bear because my teddy bear was all coloured in - only a few mosquito holes!
Carolyn: The Little Einsteins were so careful today! I modelled how to draw a teddy and an alligator and they watched carefully, coloured carefully and persevered until their white spaces were all filled in! Wonderful work, Little Einsteins!

Writing "a"

Alec is finding fast words in library books!

Alec was reading fast words in one of our library books this afternoon! So exciting to see him connecting his fast words from his readers with words in a book in our class library. Good work, Alec! We asked him to read it again so we could make this video!

Wacky Wednesday

 On Wednesday we have "Wacky Wednesday" - our time to choose anything we like to do, while Carolyn works with our reading groups. The HUGE box of Duplo is a favourite.

Ella and Connor played together, building race tracks.

 Harry enjoyed the cars.

 Reagan and Tahlia worked together to build this amazing house.

Alec said they were very kind and let him join in. That made him feel happy.

Tahlia is good at BIG projects!

It took Tahlia quite a few days to finish this puzzle - which has SIXTY pieces (59, actually - one is lost :(   ). I was so impressed at the way she worked at it - a little every day until it was done! What a great learning habit to have.

To help with your fast words...

This video lives on our A-B-C page. It can help you practise your fast words. Fast words are words you know almost as soon as you see them, so if you can say the word before it disappears - you are doing well!
