Weekly Plans - Week 33 (May 6-10)

This upcoming week is a busy one!
It's Catholic Education Week across our board and our school is putting on an Art Show. I'll be sure to share pictures of that next week!
We are also going on a field trip to watch a fun production!

Last week we introduced our students to the FREE website www.sketch.metademolab.com where students can draw an image on a white piece of paper and then take a picture, upload it and watch it come to life through animation! They loved it!


Mother's Day is coming up next weekend and our students will be working on these adorable books to take home...click the link below if you'd like to download for FREE!



Here's a look at our centres this week:

Can you make a symmetrical butterfly?

Spin, read and draw the CVC word. The spinner is from Amazon - click HERE for the link.

Spring pattern blocks - these are a FREE download from pre-kinders.com

Can you stir up a storm? Pick a card and add that many to your bowl.

We've been talking all about different types of books to write and we added these paper for students to create their own "All About Letter..." books. I paired my Alphabet Readers here also because they follow the same format and students can get inspiration from them!
You can find the lesson for this, along with the reproducible books, in my "I Can Write! Pack 2" in my TpT store.

We are wrapping up our Dinosaur Inquiry this week - students will be presenting their research and adding their dinosaur paintings to our large mural in the hallway.
At our Science and Discovery Centre we set up an invitation for students to explore colours!
When you place your hand on those boards, they change colour!

In our fine motor small group we will have students use tweezers to pick up popcorn kernels and add them to the spots inside these rubber bath mats.

At our light table, students can use these loose parts to follow different lines.
We used this same invitation way back at the beginning of the school year, too!
You can download these templates for FREE HERE.

The subtraction mats our students used last week are now placed at the Math Centre if they would like to continue to work on that.

In religion, our virtue this month is responsibility.
We will be reading the story But It's Not My Fault and playing a fun game about being honest.
You can follow along with all of our religion lessons and games in my Religion - May pack in my TpT store.

In math we are continuing with our unit on Canadian Coins.
This week we will be working with our small groups on using coins to purchase things by playing grocery store.

We will also play this fun game...Money Drop!
A bunch of coins are scattered on the table/floor. I will call out a coin name or an amount and the students have to pick it up. It can get more challenging for those students that need it - sometimes the amounts are not necessarily the same as the coin value (I may say 20 cents or 60 cents!).

You can find everything you need to teach Canadian Coins in my math pack from my TpT store.

Here are my weekly plans if you'd like to download!

Weekly Plans - Week 32 (Apr. 29-May 2)

Ummmm anyone else surprised by how quickly this school year is going?
It's already May!!!???!!!

Last week was Earth Day and we spoke a lot about ways we are stewards of the Earth.
We used the ChatterPix Kids app to create public service announcements highlighting ways we can help take care of our world.





Here's a look at our centres this week:

Can you build a CVC word?
I love using muffin tins because they are already divided into 3 sections (from top to bottom) and easily help students spell CVC words.


You can download these CVC cards for FREE by clicking below!
If you do download them, I would really appreciate it if you could leave me a review!

We turned our Tuff Tray into Dino World!
What stories live here?






Can you create your own dinosaur using these earth toned pebbles?

For the past few weeks we have focused on subtraction in math. Students learned how to use these simple mats to help them solve subtraction equations.
Count out that many objects and place them in the box.
Then take away that many by placing them into the "garbage can".
How many are left?

We added The 5 Little Ducks song and props to our Math Centre to help reinforce subtraction.

You can find these mats and song you see above in my Subtraction in Kindergarten Math Pack in my TpT store:

Students can use the alphabet stampers to spell out words!

These colourful wooden blocks are always housed at our Light Table. We moved the basket on top of the light table for students to use them this week (you would be surprised by how many didn't even realize they were available to play with! LOL)

A big thank you to Mrs. Ricci, the EA that works in our classroom, for bringing in this Dinosaur Memory for our Game Table.

In our sensory bin we tinted the water green and added plastic fern leaves and rocks. 
We have small plastic dinosaur figures frozen in ice which we will add this week!

Our Dinosaur Inquiry is going strong!
We left out clay at our Science and Discovery Centre for students to explore stamping footprints!


Students are researching various dinosaurs and this coming week will be creating a large mural in the hallway!

You can find this here if you are interested!

We play a version of Headbands quite often in our classroom.
I have this Spring Headbands version ready to go for this week!


We have been working on writing stories and now books during our Writer's Workshop lessons.
This week students will learn how to make an Alphabet Book.
They can choose their favourite letter of the alphabet and draw things that begin with that letter on each page.
We have these Alphabet Readers out at our Writing Centre as examples we often refer back to!


Our focus in math is Canadian Coins.
This week we will be co-creating a pocket chart to help us learn the name and value of coins.
Even though the penny is no longer in circulation, I still like to talk about it and bring in my collection of pennies as some children also have these collected at home!

Sorting coins using muffin tins.

Matching coins to their value.

You can find everything you need for teaching Canadian Coins in my pack found in my TpT store.
