November - Infant Room Update

Most of the children were surprised but excited by the snow this month.  Getting all bundled up to go outside has become the new routine!  With the awesome reward of playing out in the snow so it has been well worth the patience.

The children did some Remembrance Day crafts, sang lots of songs and read new books that were donated.  The children enjoyed "spirit week" and doing specific activities for each day.  They especially loved bringing their stuffy on Camp day and being able to wear their pajamas all day for pajama day!

We have lots of activities and fun stuff coming up in December!

We would also like to send a special thank you out to the Bunkowsky Family for donating story books and the Cockerill Insurance for donating drawing paper.

Older Floor Preschool - October Update

Well, October flew by and very minimal snow fell!  Yay!  We have been fortunate that the weather has cooperated enough to allow us to get outside 2 times a day.  As long as the temp stays warmer than -25 we will be going outside so please remember to send snow pants,  jackets, mittens, hats, scarves or neck warmers.

We have been busy filling our room with colourful and creative art projects!  The children have enjoyed enjoy painting with different materials; Q-tips and popsicle sticks.  We are currently looking for scrap paper.  If you have any to donate that would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you!

We're excited for all of the snow that will be coming our way and hoping for some wonderful adventures!!



Infant Room - October Update

October has been a fun month in the Infant Room.  We were finally able to play outside in our play space again! YAY!!  The Children are loving it.  They absolutely love our new sandbox we have.  The weather has been fabulous with the exception of a few cool and windy days.

We have done many fall and Halloween themed activities with the kids.  They have enjoyed them all.  We have also done sensory activities with the water table!  We took advantage while the weather was still nice to do some outdoor activities exploring nature.  The children explored the different things around the play yard looking through a magnify glass, they made their own bird feeder and they loved touching/feeling and collection the many objects found outside; pine cones, branches, wood slices to name a few.

We said good-bye to Emilia and Lexi this month as they moved up to the Toddle Bots Program.  We welcome Hadyen and Sam into our Infant Pogram.  We look forward to watching them learn and grow with us!
