Black-eyed peas update.

The peas have grown - they are bigger than when they were dry.

We noticed that some of them have split open - can you see?

We brainstormed some ideas as to what will come out:

"a plant?"
"roots?"
"a dinosaur?"

Our baby plants are just about ready to be out of the nursery and in their own home! Today we prepared the new homes with a fresh coat of paint.

We read "Eat Your Peas".

Daisy really doesn't like peas. Her Mom just can't get her to eat them.

Can you tell your family at home how the story ends?

Mindful Monday - we did a "5 senses" meditation with Cookie Monster. Perhaps you can try a senses "eye spy" at home too!

Our letter of the week this week is Jj

Over the coming weeks we are going to be doing a large scale inquiry around food and identity. How does the food we eat help us connect to our culture and traditions?

We start this week with the book Shante Keys and the New Year's Peas.

In Shante Keys' family, black-eyed peas are a traditional lucky food. Shante finds out about different food traditions from her neighbours.

We are growing black-eyed peas in a sprouter.

We rinsed the peas today and they are just touching the water. We will wait and watch them as they grow.

Stay tuned to watch with us!

We started Fun Friday with a scarf dance!

We came up with so many Gg words to wrap up Gg week. How many things at home start with the letter Gg?

A Fun Friday classic - Elephant and Piggy!

Where could they go when they go for a drive?

To a swimming pool?

To a party?

Day of Pink!

I had a twin today!

Gia made sure that those who did not have a pink shirt could still show their support for Pink Shirt Day. She made little pink shirts for others to wear. So kind!
