Children's Hospital Toy Drive
Hello Bouncy bens,
We are asking all elementary students to bring either used (but in good conditions) toys or new ones to donate to the children's hospital in tunis. Sick children in the hospital don't have toys to play with. Please make them feel happy by donating different kinds of toys: (Teddy bears, puzzles, board games, dolls, puppets....)
Bouncy bens' parents please, let your child choose the toy he/she wants to give to make another child feel happy. The children in PK know that they doing a good thing. We are learning to care about each others and help other sick children.
The dates for donations are: Nov 18th to Dec 13th.
You can bring the toys to the classroom and then the ACST CAS students will deliver them to the hospital before Christmas.
Thank you so much for your help.

Bouncy bens' work this week!!!
Hello Bouncy bens
This week our children were busy working on simple patterns. First we used unifix blocks to make different patterns. Each child has to choose 2 different colors and make his/her own pattern. Then they reproduce it on the sentence strip. Here are some pictures:
PK1 were also busy working on their letterland books. The children were asked to go over the letters with different colors. Also, they were busy coloring the main characters of the book such as Dippy Duck, Clever Cat and Bouncy ben. Pk1 are learning to say the letter sounds and make these letters with play dough as well as wooden sticks....
We also had lots of fun this week. The children love making farms and castles with blocks and big lego...

Our letter of the week is Ee.
Hi Boucny bens
Our children had been working on letter Ee. We are learning how to say the sound of Ee. We are learning how to write it using different materials.
We talked aobut our Eddy Elephant character in our letterland program. I asked the children to come up with words beginning with Ee.
PK1 are working on different kind of trains and why trains have wheels????
They are having lots of fun making wheels and decorating them. We are also reading books about trains. The focus is a book called "Freight train" by Donald Crews.
Here are pictures taking of bouncy bens doing different activities. Enjoy them

Inquiry activity with Bouncy bens
Hello Bouncy bens
On Wednesday Bouncy bens have worked on sorting toys by different materials. We had teachers from elementary school in the classroom to watch the children working on their science unit: How things work? (having teachers in the classroom observing while you are doing an activity is called peer coaching). The elementary teachers enjoyed the activity and they were impressed by the PK children. Bouncy bens were fully involved in the work and they showed a positive attitude towards learning.
The bouncy bens did a great job sharing their knowledge and showing that they are thinking and finding out information. They have learnt new words such as hard, soft, cold, fabric, metal... to describe materials by properties.
