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!

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 splash on

Oil, Water & Food Colouring - 4 Year Old Class

The children experimented with oil, water, food colouring and pipettes this morning. They squeezed drops of coloured water into a layer of oil and were engaged for a very long while. This is a simple activity with an intriguing effect. Irena gently and carefully shook the tray back and forth, blending colours. Roan watched a small drop rolling up and down the pipette. Daniel said “The circle drop is getting bigger and darker. It's dark green and red and purple.” Charlie seemed intrigued while watching water move up and down the pipette as he squeezes the bottom. Lucas thoughtfully puts the strips of paper from a weaving activity in order, and then begins threading the strips through. A very time consuming activity. While Lucas was having snack, Tiffany and Cara decide to take over where he left off. Lucas comes over to check out the progress. Lucas, while looking at the completed activity said “Cool, the g
