4 Hour Class - Mother's Day Tea Party

For Mother's Day the 4 hour class invited our mom's to join us for tea, treats, and a trip to the spa!

We prepared by making signs for the spa.





We decided to call our spa "Awesome Heart Spa"


When our moms arrived we greeted them and they got to choose to 
get a massage, have their hair or nails done, or to get a tattoo.









After the spa alot of us sat down to read books
and some spontaneous dancing broke out!




We did a short presentation to the song 
"A" You're Adorable

We can't show the video on the blog because it shows our faces, but
You can watch a silly animated version of the song here:

Then we served tea and treats to our moms and sang some songs.



A big thank you to all our moms for everything they do!

We love our moms!!

What does it mean to me? What does it mean to my preschoolers? How far does it extend into the world around us? Can four year old children grasp these deep and complex concepts? What can they understand about their world? How can we teach them about being socially responsible to: ones self; ones family; ones community; ones province; ones country; ones worl...

A Decidedly Different Day

Dollhouse It was an interesting day as I had lots of time to observe the children at play and listen carefully to their conversations. I was particularly intrigued by a conversation between two boys playing with the dollhouse. I heard Cole say to Nico " Where are the boys for this house? I need a boy." True, for some reason, only the female doll house figures were put out. He repeated the question and Nico said "I don't know but I need a boy too." They sat for a while, picked up some furniture and the dog, banged the items on the dollhouse roof and then stopped. They sat. And sat. And sat. I was so curious... why is it that they felt they needed a male to connect to? Our gender identity is clearly very strong at such a young age. I have seen this before when we act out stories in class. Generally boys want to play boys and girls want to play boys. The notion of pretending to be another character can be unappealing for some. Why is this? Should I, as a teacher, ...
