The Window

We have a new centre in the classroom we call The Window. It has clipboards, paper and books about nature. We encourage the children to look out the window and record what they observe. Many have been drawing the bare trees outside. When it snowed, they were drawing the falling snow.

Sudbury Trip

Prepare...I'm finally updating the blog with many posts in the next few days. I thought I'd start with some images from my trip up to Sudbury where I worked with fellow educators on Environmental Inquiry in Kindergarten. This was with Stan Kozak from Learning for a Sustainable Future, who I was introduced to when working with Natural
Curiosity out of the OISE Lab School.

It was a winter wonderland!

Family Friday

Just a reminder that we are having our first Family Friday on November 7th. You can walk in with us at entry time. If you have to drop off other children just head to the main office later and they will send you up to the classroom.

We hope to see you Friday!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Thank you to all the families who made it out to the Curriculum Night. If you weren't able to make it, we have the hand-out for you and it will be in next weeks Thursday Folder. Any questions you left us, we will find time to speak with you next week.

Thank you to the families who donated a Kleenex Box for the classroom. It's greatly appreciated. 

Enjoy the long weekend! We will see you on Tuesday.

I will try and update the blog with photographs of the Farm I told the students I would be visiting this weekend. (To pick some real pumpkins!)

Curriculum Night

Reminder, that our Curriculum Night is Thursday, October 9th, from 6:00 - 7:00pm.
