Valentines!

Thank you to all the parents who sent in food and goodies for all the kids.  The party was huge success!  Thank you to all the parents who came in to help.  The kids always love having their parents in their class.  Valentine's Day was such a great day to be thankful for all friends.

Rhythm Music

Thursday afternoon Ms. Meedin had her mom Mrs. Meedin come in and teach us some Rhythm Music.  She is a Wonderful Music teacher and we loved it so much we are booking her to come back after Spring Break for 4 more lessons.  Teaching young children music and movement is truly a skill and art form!

Look at all the Super Heros!

Thank you Mrs. White for organizing our school Super Hero day.  We all had so much fun!

Community Building and Creation Continues...

 If any of you have done any paper mache, you will know you don't want to do it with one child never mind 23 six year olds.  Well my hat goes off to Ms. Meedin who took on the challenge without missing a beat.  They designed and created this great Dragon Head together while working out mathematical problems that Ms. Meedin included without the kids realizing that they were doing math!

The start:

Decorating and being creative with the Dragon Head...

Maple Ridge Park

Yesterday we walked to Maple Ridge Park and had a wonderful time exploring outside.  We took our "private eye" (magnifying lenses) to see what we could discover.  The lenses didn't last long as they found a hill to play on.  To Ms. Meedin's and my surprise, they had so much fun running up and down the trail hill.  There was lots of cheers of joy and excitement!  They had pure joy participating in outside physical activity, it just made us smile with pride.  When asked most kids said that the hill was their favourite part of the trip and wanted to do it again.  We then played on the playground before walking back to school.  Now that the weather is getting nicer, we plan to explore and have more physical play at Maple Ridge Park.  Here are some fun photos of our afternoon!
