Kindergarten Spanish:
We are still talking about our senses and body parts in Spanish. We practiced the vocabulary by playing a "What's Missing" game, then the children rotated through 4 different centers: Senor Potato Head, Operando, Lego colors, and a Promethean board activity. We read Carlos and the Skunk by Jan Romero Stevens and played Donde esta la nariz?
B1-2 Technology:
The snowy weather has led to some great lab activities! We listened to the Tumblebook 50 Below Zero by Robert Munsch, and made an excel graph of our favorite snowy day activities. This gave us a chance once again to practice inserting clipart, as we decorated our finished graphs with snow pictures. The last few minutes were spent creating snowflakes with the fantastic site, Make-a-Flake!
3-4 Technology:
We started a mini unit on the Winter Olympics. This week we learned about the Inukshuk, a symbol of the Vancouver games. Inukshuks, giant stone figures, are built by the Inuit people for a variety of reasons-to mark good hunting or fishing, for navigation, or just to show people have passed through the area. An inukshuk is a symbol of cooperation, community, and friendship. After watching a short video on inukshuks, the students got into small groups to try to build their own inukshuks out of pond stones. We documented the effort with digital photos and inserted them into a reflection sheet, as well as the animoto videos below. The end of class was spent on virtual stacking with the fun Super Stacker game.
