Believe & Achieve – Celebrating Families Learning Together

Who:      Vista Heights School students and their families.  Please bring at least one adult and remain with your family.

When:   Thursday, April 23 6:30-7:30 pm

Where:  Vista Heights School (see the map of the rooms you will visit when you enter)

What:  Each teacher has prepared engaging thinking tasks that families will complete together.  Families will visit as many rooms and complete as many tasks as they choose.  The thinking tasks include such skills as solving puzzles, speed stacking, building and more.  You will have the opportunity to practice such virtues as perseverance, creativity and courage.   It is not a race.  The prize is spending time together as a family and learning together.  

Why:  A great opportunity to build community in Vista Heights!  We love learning!

Today we started a new letter... Mm!
Ask me what sound it makes. 

What starts with M...

We made M with our bodies!

 Which is the uppercase... which is the lowercase...

We read a book for M!

Ask me what happened in this book. 

What is happening to this chameleon... 

 What did he wish for at the end? 

We started toucan art and read... 

 How are these birds hiding? 

 Can you see the rhyme? 

Subitize the penguins..  

 Subitize the ostriches... subitize the baby ostriches... 

We did an experiment with worms today. 
Ask me what we did... 

 Worms were making letters... 

 What did the worms like best...
the apples, orange juice, water or soap...

What happened to the worms in the soap? 

We read...

 Ask me to point to the rhyme...

 Subitize the butterflies...

Where is the rhyme? 

 What happened in this story? 

 What does it mean to scamper and scurry...

 Who came to the dog house?

What country did we learn about for M...

 What colours are in the Mexican flag? 

 How are these areas different...

the desert is dry and hot,
the rainforest has lots of rain and green plants...

 What animals live in Mexico...
What bird migrates to Mexico...

 What language do they speak in Mexico... Spanish. 

Where do Mexicans buy their food... from markets. 

Thanks, 
Miss Anderson
