September - Fine Arts & Science T/Th class

We are so excited that you have chosen to be a part of our class!

It was wonderful to meet each child and see how well they became comfortable in the environment of our classroom.

For the month of September we will spend time getting to know one another and allow the children time to embrace the routine of their new learning environment. We will also explore colours and how they are a part of our world.

Please remember that we ask each child to bring water for their beverage, ideally in a resealable bottle that we can refill if needed. Healthy snacks such as fruit, vegetables, cheese & crackers, cereal and/or yogurt are valuable choices to provide for your child.

Sending a jacket is also encouraged as we will try to play outdoors each day of class.

It has been amazing to see the children begin to interact with one another in a positive way as they investigate and explore the different activities that have been available to them.

Please feel free to ask us if you have any questions or concerns regarding your child or the program.

We look forward to many fun-filled learning experiences with each of your children!

Patricia & Lori

As an early childhood educator, I have always placed great importance on the need to develop this way of thinking in young children. It is for this reason that we engage in activities that benefit others, such as volunteering at our local food bank, adopting an owl, or raising money for Variety Club. With the recent catastrophe in the Philippines, my mind was suddenly thrown into its own typhoon. I found myself asking questions around social responsibility and what it really means. 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...

On Monday, we became adopted parents of a dwarf frog. It was given to us by an alumni parent whose daughter no longer wanted it and I suppose she thought I was a vulnerable victim (clearly she was right!) and I said "Yes, we would love it,". Well, there is truth in that because the children already love this little creature. The Junior OSC children made Do Not Touch signs posted near the mini aquarium and our preschoolers made the frog pictures today and wanted to shower him/her with gifts. On Monday I asked them to go home and think about a name for the frog and bring their suggestion back to class on Wednesday. So, this morning we compiled our potential name list, with the understanding that we would be voting on the name. The name suggestions were as follows: Cynna: Badgie Colin: Jack Brooke: Flower Kayla: Froggie Luca: Penguin ( NOT Penguino) Alexa: Flower Bryn: Froggie Cole: Froggie Emily: Ella Zev: Spot Chloe: Eric Cash: Benji Wayne: Jackie The big vote ...
