Flower Shop

The children were very eager to begin their imaginative play in our new flower shop today. Many thanks to all the families who supported this centre by sending in materials for the children to use! We couldn't do it without you!

 

Books always are a big part of any center so that children can learn more about an inquiry and use the background knowledge to support their play and interactions with others.

 

 

The children enjoyed making their own arrangements...

 

...weighing different materials.

...getting ready for some messy work with flowers.

...and taking orders and writing receipts.

 

We can't wait to see how this centre continues to develop and grow!

Rolling to 20!

We placed a basket of dice (showing the numbers 1 to 20) and some ten frames out today. 

The children are so clever; they immediately began creating math games to play with these tools. 

"Let's roll and see who gets what number!"

"And then we can put them on the right spot on the ten frame."

Mrs. McLennan: "Where will you put the dice that don't fit on the ten frame?"

"Following the number that it goes behind!"

First to fill their ten frame wins the game!

"I know...we can use two ten frames to play the game. The first one is for 1 to 10 and the second one is for 11 to 20!"
