Thurs. Dec. 21 Crafts

The  children help to create the gift you received for Christmas using the chewed branches from the pond and the pine cones we collected from the forest and park. It was nice to bring a meaningful piece of their learning home. We planted seeds from the pine cones in the class.and we still continue to use the branches from the beaver in our class. We hope you enjoy everything they made.

We hope you like everything.

Wed. Dec 13 Holiday Celebration

Thank you to all the children and families who came out on Wed. night for the Holiday Celebration. My heart was swelling with love and pride for the children. The children sang so well. Thank you for visiting the classroom. I managed to greet most families. It was great to share some food and time to talk to you. I met many grandparents and older siblings. I saw some parents greeting each other. It was nice for families to put a face to the children. I am sure your children will often talk about a friend from the class he/she plays with all the time. Maybe new friendships for parents will develop as well.

Thank you for your continued support.

Dec 11 Tracks in the Snow

We went to the forest and found more tracks in the snow this week. It is a new inquiry

I Wonder.......????

We saw human tracks so some suggestions were a dog.

I saw a coyote on Thurs this week on the way to school from Barrie so now we wonder again.....

Rabbit tracks ??

We wonder about these. tracks ?

  Nest close by. 

  We believe these are squirrel tracks. We saw a grey squirrel as we arrived to the forest.

These tracks climb the tree.

 I have to dig out my tracks page to compare all these tracks.

Fun learning in winter.
