Sensory Fun - 3 Year Old & 4 Year Old classes

The children in our 3's and 4's classes had fun creating with glue, kosher salt and water colours.

First, glue is drizzled onto the plate, then salt is sprinkled on top and the excess shaken off. The best part... dipping the brush into the water colour and very gently touching the salt with the brush. Voila! The colour seemingly magically seeps deep into the salt.


The children were intrigued by the process, and by the new colours created as the primary colours ran into one another.
 



At the sensory table, the children enjoyed exploring pre-frozen cups of water and sequins.


A group of children spent a long while playing a penguin, memory game. A game we recently received as a gift from one of our families. It was wonderful witnessing the turn taking and watching the children cheer each other on.


On Fort Day, sheets were tossed over tables and chairs, and various table top toys and loose parts placed inside. Children seemed thrilled to walk into the preschool in the morning, and see their classroom transformed. Forts and children... a wonderful combination!









Until next time!

The River - 4 Hour Class

We went out to the park to play and something caught our eyes. There was something new and different. One of the paths in the park was flooded with water. The children quickly gravitated towards it and decided to walk in the water. Chloe said that they were crossing a river. 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
