More teddies' hospital...

The children have really engaged themselves in the role play. Actually, they still do. A lot of learning about this community helper has taken place.

Teddies' Hospital

Our teddies were sick. We got them appointments in our Hospital. They were looking much better when they left. They just needed more rest... We has plasters, bandages, syringes, stethoscopes, everything that a real doctor has.
It was a lot of fun...!

On the 4th week of school...

On the continuation of our "helping hands" unit of inquiry, we had "doctors", as special guests. Well, this week's topic is doctors and dentists and we've decided to dress up as doctors. Don't we look cute?

Fantastic Friday

On Fantastic Fridays, we play bingo, eat popcorn, watch movies and we revise what we have learned during the week (regarding the unit of inquiry...)

The Traffic Police visited us...

First, we had a little training indoors. And then, we went outside... It was scary! Anyway, I almost had a heart attach, but the kids were great! They have all passed the test. Well done!

Role Play - the Police

The Police help us in various ways. One of them is to help finding our lost important belongings. This is what the children have created, in this situation. It was a lot of fun!

More about the unit on Helping Hands

We have our own Helping hands chart. It shows whenever the children are being caring by helping others. They are also "class community helpers"...

Just for fun!

More of Community helpers and not only...

Hello everybody!

Our second week of school has run smoothly! We are getting slowly into our program. We have started Individual, Group and shared readng. We have also initiated our first unit of inquiry on Helping Hands (community helpers). We've been working on the concept of school community. The children seem to be very engaged in this topic. We are going to get deaper into the different community helpers, next week.

It has been already a challenging and fun week. I am sure, more it's still to come!

Starting Monday- Unit of Inquiry: Helping hands (Community Helpers)

Children investigating...

The children are "reading the room":

Firts week in Kindergarten

Hello, everybody! So we have started... We had our first week and it was a lot of fun! It was nice to see all my children back again. I missed them so much...I though to share with you some pictures of the children, during this week. It has been a free, soft week... We will start the real "business" on Monday. Our first unit is: Helping Hands (Community Helpers).
We will need your "helping hands", though, for this unit of Inquiry. I'm sure we'll have a great school year! I'll be posting news and pictures every Friday.

Love,
