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

Andrew noted that they can walk in the water because they are wearing their boots. Sara replied with “our feet won't get wet”. Adonis was watching the other children walk in the water. I knew how badly he wanted to do it as well. But he was not wearing his boots. He went around the playground and saw a big branch and started dragging it. I wondered what he would do with the branch.       Adonis brought it to “the river” and started tossing it in the water. Alvis saw what he was doing and quickly joined in. Adonis threw the branch in the water and Alvis got it in “the river” for him. Alvis was wearing his boots so he was able to be in “the river”. They speculated about the size of the...

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, ...
