Happy Birthday to Estella (6th), Draven (16th) and Rowan (17th)!
Toddler 2: Cassandra & Kaelly
In the month of November, we talked about the colder weather as a class, naturally this led us to talking about proper outdoor clothing, we practiced getting ourselves ready for outside and getting out outdoor gear off when we come inside! Our friends have been doing a great job at this! We have also been loving exploring numbers, letters and colours! In December we are going to continue practicing getting our outdoor gear on and off! We also have lots of Christmas activities, crafts and sensory play planned for this month!
Preschool: Kenzie, Morgan & Delaney
We welcomed Morgan into preschool as the third teacher! In November we did some Remembrance Day crafts. We also got really good at singing our ABC’s! The preschoolers have also been loving musical instruments at circle time and have been doing a great job sharing them! We are very excited for Christmas and we have lots of crafts planned for the kiddos to take home! We will be talking lots about the snow and family time for the holidays!
Happy Birthday to Bryanna (11th), Millie (13th), Nik (18th)
