Learning Stations (April 16 - 20)

The theme continues to be Mother Goose Rhymes. After two weeks of having Jack and Jill due to the two holidays, a special day for Easter activities, Backyard Bugs Special Scientist in the School, our new Mother Goose rhyme to center our activities around is Humpty Dumpty.

Art Centre

Using construction paper, grey paper, crayon and any other media that the kids want to include, the students have to make their own version of Humpty Dumpty AFTER THE FALL. The king's horses and the king's men tried to put him torgether again but alas, this is what they have been able to assemble him so far!

Then, they have started to paste their Humpty Dumpty's on the wall as below:

It is fun to see the different Humpty Dumpty's on the wall!

Science Centre

The students are going to 'test' the different the three dimensional shapes to see if the structure is stable or not. I simply use the term 'stacked on top of each shape without falling apart'. They will follow the worksheet as seen below:

Using the worksheet, they will use the specified 3D shape blocks gathered in preparation for this science activity as seen below:

Literacy Centre

Story sequencing is one of my favorite activities concerning a story or a poem. I like the children to remember the sequence of the story/poem upon hearing or reading a story/poem. This activity will make them think of the sequence in the story.

Sequence Cards for the children to colour and cut out

Worksheet for the sequence story cards to be placed on

Math Centre

With a worksheet below, the students are going to pick a card of an animal or insect from a paper bag called Animal Count. With the picture, the children are going to count the number of parts that they see (e.g., eyes, whiskers, ears, mouth) and record the numbers on their worksheet. Counting, number recognition and number writing are some of the expectations that the children practice in this activity.
