Rain, Rain, Go Away!

Welcome back to another week at JKA, everyone!

Today was a rainy day, but that did not stop all of the smiles and laughs from entering my classroom this morning. Everyone was still filled with a lot of energy and was more than glad to tell me about their weekends!

Today, we are learning about animals in the amazon. Today, we learned about a very popular and colourful bird that lives in the lush rain forests of South America.... the Toucan!

We looked at a powerpoint I created based on Toucans. We learned that toucans live in South America in places called rainforests. We learned that the name rain forest is because it actually rains a lot in those areas!!!!  I explained that a lot of the world's animals, medicine and air that we have actually comes from rainforests.

We learned the characteristics of a toucan: tropical birds with a large, colourful bill and body. The main body of the toucan is usually mainly black. We learned that toucans have big bills to allow them to eat lots of food, especially fruit! We also learned that toucans live in trees that have holes already made by another bird.... Can you guess which one?

Yessss... a woodpecker!

We did some activities on toucans.

After, we did some worksheets on this week's letter, Hh. Please continue to practice tracing letters with your child!

We also practiced for the gala, had gym and french.

I read two stories by Robert Munsch, who is a very popular author in our classroom. We read "This is my Room" and "Thomas' Snowsuit."

At the end of the day, we created letters using playdoh cutters and had a lot of fun doing so!


A reminder:

-Gala tickets were sent home on Friday
-Casual Day is this Wednesday




Have a super, fabulous night!!!!!
