Daisy chain

We're making a daisy chain based on the ideas in the first post of this blog 'in our classroom'.

Every daisy has an adjective or describing word drawn on it.
 

The words describe everyone in our class.

Cross curricular links to literacy:  If you look very carefully and take the first letter of every word (or the second in some cases!)  the letters spell 'loveable' and 'special'.  

This is found in ACROSTIC poems where if you take the first letter of every line it spells a word.  

(We used a bit of poetic licence here and used the second letter of some words.)

Here is an example of an acrostic poem.  Can you see the word it spells?

 

Spring butterflies

Last week some of us made Spring butterflies to decorate the classroom and to give as presents for Mothers' Day.



Emotion poems

In circle time: we learned and talked about lots of different emotions and what makes us feel happy and sad.  

Then we wrote some poems about emotions....

We chose happy, sad, grouchy, mischievous, suspicious, annoyed, mad.

Here are pictures of our poems.

Please note that all names are pen names not our real names.

Being polite.

   We read a story about how someone was rude then we thought how we could change it to be polite.  

Then we acted out the story being first rude and then polite.
 

Here are some posters we made into a display.

 

 

 

 

 

 

In our classroom

We are equal and everyone here is important.

We are all different and we can contribute in different ways.  Everybody here is a gift to everybody else.

We listen to each other and we don't say unkind or hurtful things.

We respect each other. 

 We are here to think, to learn and to have 

fun!

 

 

Friendship

In January 2013 we learned about being a good friend.  

Cross curricular links to literacy: we thought of words to describe friendship. 

sharing, caring, fair, friendly, happy, smiling, nice, polite, jokes, funny, kind, companionship, fun.

Some of us

 made friendship bracelets and included these words. 

Here are some pictures of our bracelets...
