Mrs. Bean's Kindergarten

Welcome to my classroom blog. I am a Full Day Kindergarten teacher at Corpus Christi School in Ottawa,Ontario. I hope this classroom blog will be a useful tool for parents to stay up to date with what is cool and happening in kindergarten! Please take some time to explore. I have posted links to some interesting reads about the kindergarten child. You will also find links to various educational online games and reading and math tips that support the learning we are doing in the classroom.

KIndergarten Camera Workshop! ~ April 16th

This year I (once again) invited fellow school board employee, Elizabeth Valiquette, to join us in Kindergarten.  She spent a whole morning with us teaching us about the functions of a camera and different angles we can use when taking a photograph.

And now...let's take a selfie.

 
Mrs. Valiquette taught us about backgroud and how the backgroung you choose can make your
picture.
 
It was a great morning and the children had a great time being creative with their cameras. We will be using the cameras for a few more projects over the next couple of weeks.  Once we have taken our pictures, we are going to practice uploading them to a computer and printing them.
