We started our day off with morning exploration. Some of us worked on tracing and cutting out our mittens. We then had our welcome song and practiced saying our first and last names. After snack and outdoor playtime, we came in for Brain Gym, Calendar and some singing. We then watched a couple of short video clips about 'Carnaval' that is celebrated in Quebec. We will be celebrating Carnaval at school next Friday, Feb 6th. We learned about Bonhomme, the big snowman mascot and the different activities that take place during Carnaval. We also learned a song about Bonhomme and the different musical instruments he plays. We then went to the gym for some cooperative games and stations to rotate through. After lunch, we visited the music class. We then came back for Show and Tell, a visit from Paul et Suzanne and quiet literacy choice time. After, we did some more French singing before free exploration time. We ended the day celebrating one of the children's birthdays.
