Class 3 participated in a circle and literacy activity to start off the week. 
We sat in a circle and incorporated our senses and the Fall season. We talked about the things we see, hear, taste, feel and smell during Fall. Everyone shared what they knew. Some friends said, "green leaves turn orange, red, and yellow".

Class 4 - Painting

Class four is beginning to notice the many different shapes which surround us in our everyday lives. We see triangles, squares, rectangles and diamonds. However, the shape which we see the most is a circle. We know that apples are circle and so are oranges. The bowls we eat with are circles as well as the wheels on the vehicle which we come to school with! We decided to create our very own circle maze! Using play dough cups and paint we dipped the rim of the play dough cups into the paint and stamped it on our paper. To add a different texture to our creation, miss Alesha mixed our paints with shaving creme and our paints became foamy and it made our circles almost 3D!
