What a wonderful day to garden!

This afternoon for learning group, we went outside and planted flowers in the backyard. We learned today that not everyone is a fan of dirt! Some groups planted in pairs, so they had to help one another out and take turns. Others worked on coping with touching the dirt and helping dig a hole. Watering the flowers was a favorite of most of the kids.  After we planted our flower garden we went and played in the backyard! It was a great Thursday :)

Doctors and X-rays

This month we are learning about safety and community helpers. This week we have been talking about doctors. Yesterday for craft we made x-rays of our hands. First we traced the outlines of our hands, then we coloured them in with a white crayon. Next we glued on Q-tips for the bones.

We also read a story about a little girl who was sick and had to go to the doctors. We talked about what a doctor does, what a doctor wears and some of the tools a doctor uses.  For some of the groups, we also looked about some pretend x-rays. For other groups we played with a pretend doctor's kit and listened to each other's heart beats and looked inside one another's ears.
