Happy Fri-yay! And what a fun Friday it was!

Today we explored patterns using sidewalk chalk outdoors! We created:

- shape patterns

- colour patterns

- size patterns

We also went outside and did a sit spot in our garden. We tried to remember some sketching techniques we learned yesterday! Ask your child about stippling, stumbling, burnishing, blending, hatching, and cross-hatching.

This morning we listened to Mrs. Melindy read the story Not a Box by Antoinette Portis. In our writing journals we wrote "It's not a box. It's a ____" Then we drew a photo of a box and turned it into something amazing. Our imagination caps were really working today! Some students turned their box shape into a dinosaur, a mountain, a rocket ship, or a robot!

Have a wonderful weekend! I am excited to see everyone back to school on Monday.

Kind regards,

Mrs. Amber Melindy
