Mrs. Blackie - K1 News

Hello everyone!

An exciting week for our caterpillars...they have started to change into chrysalis! We collected sticks today to add in our tank and will get a chance to have a closer observation next week! Plus, we have planted marigolds and many have started to sprout. Spring is happening in our classroom.  Thanks to Ethan for sending a video of the baby robins outside his house - so cute! 

Sharing: It was fun to hear the many games the children play with their family. Next week sharing is for you child to choose their favourite coin. We have begun to learn about coins - thier symbols, size, colour and names. Example- I like the dime because it has a picture of a schooner on it.

Here are two songs we have been learning help us learn about coins.
