Wacky Hair Day is tomorrow-Friday. Decorate your hair, wear a wig, or a funny, decorated hat. Can't wait to see!
Trip forms have been sent out and most have been returned along with the necessary funds. Merci ! Please ensure that you have sent your child's form in, as the trip is this Tuesday, April 2nd. We have received a few requests from parents who wish to join our children on the trip. We can only have so many adults join our group, so please note that we will contact parents as soon as possible to let you know. Thank you so much for your understanding.
Some of the children created a book about aquatic animals. This was a multi-step project. The children became interested in marine animals in January, which lead us to learning about various types of fish and mammals. They also learned how penguin have special oils on their feathers that help them repel water. We tested this out by creating a crayon marine picture with our book buddies. We then used water based blue paint and watched as the water bubbled off the crayon designs. This was turned into a book cover for "Sea Creatures" book. For the most part this activity was optional; however, some of the children could not get enough of drawing pictures of themselves swimming with various animals. They also loved reading what was going on in the photo (e.g. "Andrew veut nager avec un requin tigre.")
The children continue to create book, make patterns, experiment in the back sink and with the sand table. They are also creating more elaborate block structures. Outside we continue to play in the forest, looking for evidence of animals and spring! Tobogganing is still a hit! It is amazing to watch the progress. We noticed that the snow has melted all around the trees and have been wondering why this could be??? They have also begun to talk about tree sap and it is collected and made into maple syrup. We are very proud at their great sense of wonder and creativity. Their French is also improving so much. It is great to see how much they really do understand. BRAVO LES AMIS !
Have a great night!
