Center Fun Over the past couple of weeks we have been investigating all things snow.  Check out some of our fun learning through play! Reading winter books. Making snowflakes out of shapes. Building igloos with foam blocks and shaving cream. Tracing snowflakes. Building snowforts. Investigating what happens when we add salt to ice. Making snowflakes with loose parts. How can you help at home... We have been focusing on letter sound relationships and matching upper and lowercase letters.  Please reinforce this at home with your child.  Suggestions: 1. Play memory with upper and lowercase letter pairs. 2. Go on a scavenger hunt finding objects that begin with each letter of the alphabet or place letter stickies all over the house and find the matching upper and lowercase. 3. Play Eye Spy ( I spy something red that starts with the letter A...) 4. Play the Youtube video A is for Apple 5. Use the Starfall app  6. Write each letter on a Popsicle sti

Welcome Back! We are so excited to have your littles back with us.  We hope you had a wonderful winter break.  This week we have been busy finishing our capital letters J and Y.  We talked about the sounds they make and did a brainstorming organizer for January and the colour Yellow.  Ask you child what happens in January and what is yellow. Today was our Mad Science presentation.  The students loved it!  They were smiling ear to ear as they watched and interacted with the mad scientist.  We have had some discussion around what a scientist is and does.  Please ask your child what they think... The scientist used dry ice, dish soap, water and food clouding to create some wonderful reactions.
