Very busy week for Bouncy bens

Hello Bouncy bens

Our children were very busy this week working on letter Ff. They have learned to say the sound, trace the letter using different materials such as pencils, play dough, pastel croyons...
Bouncy bens looked for different words beginning with Ff. I asked the children to come up with Ff words and they did. They looked around the classroom to see an Ff word. Also, in the letterland stories they have learned so many words beginning with Ff. Well done!

F for firefighter

Also this week The children drew a picture and commented on it. They made up their own stories using their own words. Here are some samples:

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.

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.
