Animals in the Jungle
Mr. Oliver P. came to our class again! We made a story about living in the jungle. We all acted out including Mr. Grumpy Bear.
In the story, we all went to the jungle and meet different animals. We had to decide what animal we were going to be. these were aour choices:
Cesca chose to be a swan, Dominic chose to be a dinosaur, Jessica chose to be an elephant, Ethan chose to be a koala and Matson chose to be an octopus.
After choosing the animals, we all had to act the part! We displayed our wings to fly when we pretended to be swans. We roared loudly when being a dinosaur . We moved our trunks as elephants. We climbed trees when pretending to be koalas, and we swam like octopuses moving our tentacles.
We had a great time with Oliver and we learned so much about dramatization.
Thank you Oliver for coming to our class!

Author Visit: Oliver Phommavanh
This morning Oliver P. came to our class. He came all the way from Sydney (Australia) to KK! He brought his best friend with him, Mr. Grumpy Bear. Oliver tough us the Grumpy Dance. Then, he read us a story called "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" by Eric Carl. The Grumpy Bear and all of us listened to the story very attentively. Grumpy Bear got very hungry after listening to the story, so each of us chose a piece of food to feed him. After that, Oliver asked us to draw a picture of Grumpy Bear.
Oliver and Grumpy Bear promised to come back to our class again. We can't wait to see what will he bring.

How Tall Am I ?
Last Friday, all Pre-K4 measured their height in different ways. We built a tower with some blocks then we measured. We had a lots of fun with the building blocks! We had to be very careful and made sure that our blocks were properly stacked .
"I'm 16,5 blocks tall"
"I'm 18 blocks tall" "I'm 17 blocks tall"
Our Timeline: Where We Are In Place And Time
During this unit we have learned how to document our personal histories.
We were introduced to the concept of past, present and future by making timelines. We created timelines of our life and place the following events in the right order: birth (baby), toddler and present. Looking at our timeline, we could see how we have changed physically and emotionally from birth until now.

Music Integration with YPJ
"Music is the universal language of mankind"
- Henry Wardsworth Longfellow -
In the middle of quarter 3, we had the opportunity to play music with our YPJ friends.
Every Tuesday morning, we played music together. Sometimes we went to YPJ, but sometimes they came to our school.
We played instruments together. We played all the instrument one at a time.
We explored instruments made out of different materials: such as metal and wood.
Miss Ima from YPJ accompanied us while we played the instruments together.

DEAR (Drop Everything And Read) with the Middle School Students
Every Thursday, some special guests visit our class. We read books together during DEAR Time.
Morgan and Tiara are reading a dinosaurs story to Dominic and Cesca.
Matson's special treat was to read with his sister. Isabel is modelling reading using a book about about bugs.

Sounds Are Everywhere!
In pre-K we explore letter sounds in many different ways! We use music, sand, play dough and paint. Learning the sounds helps us decode and make simple VCV words!
Ethan makes the /s/ sound in the sand.
Jessica is doing a great job at drawing the sound /a/ and letter A.
Chesca makes a collage of words starting with the /t/ sound using different materials!
