* Note *
I just wanted to let all of you know that due to personal circumstances this will be my last blog post for awhile. I hope to get back to regular posts mid-February. I will continue to post any announcements as they arise. For the next few weeks my evenings will not be my own and my time and attention are needed elsewhere. Thank you for your understanding and patience and as always you can reach me via your child's agenda or calling the school! Mrs. H
This is going to be a long post as we had so many fun learning centres this morning. Mrs. K and I have decided to change things up a bit. To start our days, our friends are now going to rotate through different learning centres designed to develop and enhance various learning skills. The learning centres will last 10 minutes and by the end of a week or two each group will have had the opportunity to visit each centre.
Mrs. K and I have developed various learning centres to strengthen and develop fine motor skills, problem solving skills, leadership skills and of course, math and language skills. The children will independently rotate through the centres during the course of a week (sometimes longer) so that they get a chance to try each learning activity independently and of course some activities will be guided by their teachers.
Our first learning centre was geared to language. My friends spent some time with magnetic letters and cookie trays exploring various sight words (in English and French) for those that were ready, and those that were not did an "alphabet clip card" activity - matching lower and upper case letters. Here are some great photos of my friends at this centre!
