Popcorn

Today Mrs. Lowe wanted us to practice using our 5 senses. So we made popcorn. We ate the popcorn out of cups while we watched a movie about our 5 senses.

We also wrote a poem.


Popcorn
I see popcorn kernels exploding
I smell popcorn cooking
I hear a popping noise
I feel hot air

I taste popcorn!

A Drawing Day

Today we learned to draw in two different ways! This morning we met a little guy named Mat Man. He is made out of sticks. We sang a song about all of his different parts and we practiced making him on the carpet, with the Smart Board and in our books.

"My favourite part was colouring him on the Smart Board" - Kyran

In the afternoon we went outside to sketch a crooked fall tree. We used pencil crayons, paper, and a clipboard. We tried to draw exactly what we saw by looking carefully at the tree.

"The tree looked like it was going to fall over." - Krystal

"The leaves were falling on the ground." - Abigail

"I loved the way the leaves were falling, it reminded me of our dancing." - Delilah

"I noticed that the leaves were changing colours." - Kiera

Fall Dancing

Earlier this week we began talking about the changes that happen in Fall. We've talked about the weather getting cooler, days getting shorter and the leaves changing colour and falling off of their branches.

The students also participated in a dance activity where they practiced moving like a fall leaf. They learned how to make movements using high, low and middle spaces. There were many smiles and lots of giggles as the students danced around the room to soothing music and sounds of nature.
