We started off our day with morning exploration and an invitation to create lines, patterns and symmetry on our new discovery table. We then had our welcome song and daily check in. After snack and outdoor play time, we came in for Brain Gym and Calendar. We then went to the gym with Mme Sunny. After gym, we talked about how our bodies are electric, and how we can connect together to move in to our best learning brain, the child's brain. We talked about how the middle part of our brain, as some of us refer to as the mammalian brain (think, like a cat!) often has us reacting without thinking and processing what just happened. For instance, if someone were to hit us, we would immediately hit them back.. just like cats do. Brain Gym can help us move in to our best learning brain, the child's brain... but we have to do it properly! Part of doing it properly with each movement is to stay connected. Mme Rebecca brought in a special tube that allowed us to demonstrate with hand holding how we all carry electric currents within us. We all held hands and the tube turned on with lights and noise, but when one person lets go (breaks the circuit) it stops. We also tried it with two of the people in the circle putting their hand in to water and it still worked!! Very exciting. After lunch and show and tell, we listened to a story and then had free literacy choice time. We then had a visit from Paul et Suzanne. After, we talked about how it feels to be at school and what are our jobs when we are here. We brainstormed a list of things we are remembering to do when we are at school. We then grouped them in to three main groups: Being respectful (listening, looking), Being Safe (hands to ourselves and walking feet) and Helping (helping others and filling up others' buckets). We then all signed our name and agreed we would do our best to keep working on these main points when we are at school, this will help us to learn. We then had free exploration play time, and we all begun to paint our tube snakes that we will be making as an art project!
