Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Even though we built and set Leprechaun traps, we were not lucky enough to catch one!  Those Leprechauns did however, visit our classroom - and they made quite the mess.  It was up to the students to figure out the seven jokes that were played on them, so they could go to the office to claim their gold!  You can click here for more of our St. Patrick's Day fun.

The students had fun building Leprechaun traps this week.  They worked together and demonstrated wonderful collaboration and team work skills to come up with one trap per table.  You can click here to see more pictures of our Leprechaun trap building.  

St. Patrick's Day Art

This week we enjoyed getting messy.  We painted shamrocks using marbles and marshmallows! 

We also strengthened our fine motor skills by making rainbow necklaces out of cereal.  You can click here to see more pictures of our messy fun.

Zones of Regulation

This week I introduced the students to the concept of expected and unexpected behaviours.  We talked about how when you behave in an expected way (for example, sitting quietly during learning time), your friends and the people around you feel comfortable and safe.  When you behave in an unexpected way (for example, screaming or sitting in someone else's personal space), you make your friends and the people around you feel uncomfortable or scared.  We brainstormed and discussed different expected and unexpected behaviours, and how they might make our friends feel.

Check out our Bulletin Boards

We were feeling the PreK Pride when we seen our finished bulletin boards in Riverview School.  Our lions are displayed near the office, and the birds are in the hallway near the gym.  Be sure to check them out if you get the chance!
