Our second half of summer was very busy! We continued our Around The World project, "visiting" Egypt, Scotland, Australia, and India. The children were especially excited to have Jasvinder come to the room to tell them about India! She brought in traditional clothing and jewelry, talked about the languages and holidays, and did henna tattoos!
Jordy organized a really fun day of challenges inspired by the show Survivor, and despite it being a little chilly out the children were excited to complete challenges like scavenger hunts, balancing on one foot, and making tribal necklaces. We finished the day with a delicious snack of "worms and dirt"!
Another highlight was our field trip to Boonstra Farms where we got to milk a cow, feed horses, and navigate our way through a corn maze! The bus ride back was a good opportunity to rest after all the fun.
Back at the Centre we have been enjoying as much sunshine and fresh air as possible before cooler weather sets in. We have been lucky to have several frogs, grass hoppers, and butterflies make their home in the school field and the children have learned a lot about these creatures and how to respect them by watching and catching/releasing.
We were sad to say goodbye to Steph, Jordy, and some of our peers after such a wonderful summer, but we are excited to welcome the new kindergarten group to the room.
