Story Time Outside

Sunscreen and a Hat!

The hot weather is finally here! Please make sure your child has sunscreen on when they come to school and bring a hat to wear outside. You can also pack some sunscreen in their bag to re-apply throughout the day. We spend a minimum or 40 minutes outside during the day. 

Sharks!

Today we read a book about sharks! Ask your child one thing they learned about sharks today.

Short e Sound

Today we learned about the "short e" sound. We read a book called "The Best Nest", it was filled with short e words. Then we answered "short e" riddles, using our whiteboards. 
Can you come up with some words that have the short e sound in them?
For example; bed, red, pen, yes

Dolphins

Within our Ocean theme, the students wanted to learn about Dolphins. Today we watched a Youtube video about Dolphins and how smart they are. Turns out Dolphins are as smart as humans! Pretty amazing!
We also read a book about Dolphins and discovered some very interesting facts about them.

Dolphins are mammals like us!
They belong to the whale family.
They eat fish and squid.
They can live in colder (not freezing) and warm ocean water.
Dolphins make clicking sounds that pass through the water as sound waves. The sound waves hit an object, they bounce back to the dolphin. This helps them find different objects, or food. 

We also learned about the different parts of a Dolphin.

Sand Dollars

Today we learned about Sand Dollars. We watched a Youtube video about living Sand Dollars in the ocean. We learned that the Sand Dollar is a spiny, hard-skinned animal that is shaped like a coin (a flattened disk.)
They live on the sandy sea floor, and bury themselves under the sand.
Sand dollars have a mouth in the center, many black spines (which trap food), and the cilia (small hairs) that help direct food into the mouth.

Ask your child what colour a living Sand Dollar is?
What colour is a dead Sand Dollar still in the ocean?
What colour is a dried up Sand Dollar that we have in the classroom?
