Something Different - 4 Hour Class

On Monday, October 30, when I opened the door to let the children in the classroom, I noticed something different. The children were nowhere to be found. Instead different characters and animals came in the classroom.


Queen Elsa and an Angel helped Thing 2 put on more dress up accessories.

















Luigi came to the art table to draw.
 
 
 
 
 
A minion played with the cars.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Everest ate a cookie at the snack table.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Skye read a book.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
A firefighter rode on a tricycle.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
A dinosaur drove the car.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Darth Vader came with us to gym as well.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Even though the children did not come that day. We still had a lot of fun meeting and playing with the different characters and animals that came to school that day. 
 
It was very interesting to see how some of the children were acting out their character. The children who were dressed as firefighters were very eager in helping the other children. They saw everything as an emergency.  The superheroes were running very fast in the gym. Speed was their super power. I hope everyone had fun dressing up!
Until next time,
Patricia

Social Responsibility: Down to the Core

Social responsibility- a term that has now become quite common in the field of education and has the potential to lose its meaning if we are not careful. 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 ...
