Summer School Kindergarten Week 3

Theme: Art and Craft


We had a very creative and exciting week!! 




On Monday we explored color.  We unscrambled color words, and talked about our favourite color. We read The Day the Crayons Quit by Drew Daywalt, and then we made our own drawing exploring our favourite color. 


On Tuesday we looked at some famous self portraits, and read a book about one particular artist; Frida Kahlo (Frida, by Jonah Winter). We then talked about our inner and outer selves and made a self portrait showing both sides. 



On Wednesday we had fun with water play!  It was very exciting! We also explored paper craft by making worry dolls, which we learned about from the story Silly Billy by Anthony Browne. We enjoyed making clothes for our doll and talking about things that sometimes worry us.




On Thursday we had fun with water play again! The weather was nice, and it helped cool us down.  After that we explored 3D craft by making our own folding houses. It was a challenge, but everyone tried hard and made some amazing homes! 



On Friday we experimented with splatter painting after reading the picture book: Jackson Pollock Splashed Paint and Wasn’t Sorry by Fausto Gilbert. After lunch we read Art & Max by David Wiesner, and talked about different
painting styles.

It was a very fun and productive week!

Dear Sunrise Parents, We had another great week of summer school. We played a lot of games and made a lot of new friends! In math, we  arranged animals from smallest to largest. We also  counted and clipped clothespins on animal number cards. We then used the clothespins to make various animals to determine how many  were used for each of them. Based on the math video of the week, we learned that the longest snake known was Medusa so we were all excited to use clothespins to make a snake that was 25 feet, 2 inches long. Later on in the week, we looked at non-standard unit of measurement and used lego bricks to measure the height of various animals. Yuito used six clothespins to make a giraffe.  Kaito showed great confidence as he counted and matched the correct number.    Tomoki showed good hand strength as he pinched the  clothespin on the animal card.  Tomoki's attempt at making Medusa, the longest snake in the wo...

Sunflower Class Week 4: Game World

  Welcome to Game World!!! Our last week of summer school was full of adventure by delving into a world of strategy, creativity, and imagination.  Students played a variety of games, some involving some problem solving and others that were physical and required stealth.  We learned about different styles of games by playing both familiar and unfamiliar games and analyzing pros and cons of each.   At the beginning of our week students worked together to create rules and challenges based on blank board game templates.  Everyone did a great job and changed an empty game board into something fun for all ages.  After trying out a variety of new things, students divided into groups to design their own game entirely from their imagination.  Here are some of their amazing creations: Frog Life : Students worked with a program called Scratch to create a video game online.  They learned how to make and alter coding in order to design a frog jumping game...
