Cooperative game:
We played a variation of the CanDoRoo game using only the colour tiles. We each took turns choosing a tile and then hopping to something of that colour in the room.

Science experiment:
Theme this week is Colours

We checked in on our white carnations from the beginning of the week to see how much they had changed after being in coloured water for 5 days. The results were great - all the flowers took on the colour of the water they were placed in and those that had their stems split into 2 different colours were half one colour and half the other. Beautiful! The photos don't do them justice at all...

Outing/social time:

Circling words that begin with the letter C, circling pictures of words that begin with the letter C, writing the missing C in words, colouring shapes in indicated colour, matching colour name to colour.

Hands on math:
Sorted everyday household items by colour.

Computers:
Played colour related games in both English and French on the iPad.

Music:
Danced and sang along to our colours theme compilation cd, calling out the colours we heard in the songs and saying them in French.

French:
French is always emphasized throughout the entire day; especially theme related words. Today we practiced using "S'il vous plait" when making a request and "Merci" when that requested in granted. We also continued working on answering "Je ne comprends pas" when they don't understand something said to them in French and "Je ne sais pas" when they understand but don't know the answer. We will continue to practice these sentences all week.
