In our gathering place; we completed our morning calendar and then talked about rainbows. We read The Rainbow Book. This is beautifully made book, with intricate patterns cut into each page. Unfortunately, this book does not represent the colours of the rainbow. Pink is NOT a colour in a rainbow. But this "error" gave us the opportunity to discuss that we cannot always believe what we read :-)
The students were introduced to Roy G. Biv - Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, and Violet

We watched the Cat in the Hat sing a song about the colours of a rainbow. And then we watched it again :-)
We took a well deserved Brain Break and walked around the room twice using BIG, GIANT steps. That was fun!
After recess, the students made their own Roy G. Biv.

We ended the day with a Dr. Seuss request. Megan wanted me to read Gustav, the Goldfish (from The Bippolo Seed and Other Lost Stories) which to me is the Seuss equivalent to Goonies ("do not feed after midnight"). In this case, Gustav can only be fed a "spot" of fish food or he grows, and grows, and grows.
REMINDERS:
- We are closed, on Monday, for Labour Day.
- The next homework packets are posted on the Homework page, and have been place in your child's School-to Home Pocket.
Have a safe holiday!
