Flower Shop

Our drama centre is now a flower shop.  We have real dirt, garden gloves and mini gardening tools!!! 

Our Earth Day Promise

Last week for Earth Week we made the earth using paint and marbles and then the children wrote their promise to help the earth.  Here is a sample below...

Brrrr It's Cold

Please remember to send your child to school with mitts and a hat. Many are coming without these items and they are cold. Our playground is very breezy.  Thanks

Number Talk

Today we put the number 3 on the white board and we asked the children to tell us about this number.  Below is a recording of what they said.  Their answers show their thinking and understanding of math concepts such as ordinals, quantity, time, counting, stable order of numbers and addition.  We really want the children to understand the importance and prevalence of math in our everyday lives.  

Save the Date

We will be inviting families to join us in the classroom on Tuesday may 3rd at 2pm for Catholic Education Week. More information will follow next week.

Earth Week Liturgy

We started Earth Week off with a classroom liturgy.  We discussed the importance of taking care of Mother Earth and how we are so thankful for all the beauty of God's creation.  We brought forth gifts of water, shells, seeds and soil to place on our front table as a symbol of God's gifts of creation.  We read  the creation story in Genesis, a lovely poem called The Seed and then we closed with the song He's Got the Whole World in his Hands.  The children were once again, respectful and reverent.   Great  job parents in raising such lovely children!

Spring Has Sprung!

The lovely weather has finally arrived and so we say a fond farewell to snow pants, boots and mittens!!

Please  keep in mind the following as we are outside 3 times a day:

Sunscreen should be applied in the morning before your child arrives for school as we do not apply sunscreen.

Please send your child to school with a sun hat and have them dress in layers as the mornings can be cool.

Please continue to have indoor and outdoor shoes as we don't want the outdoors tracked onto our carpets where the children play.

For your child's safety, please do not send them to school in flip flops, sandals or shoes with laces.  Thanks for your understanding.
