New Blog and Website for September :)

Stay tuned as I am in the works of updating the blog and website for September 2011. Thanks!!!

It's all About Construction this week :)

Our theme this week is construction! Today there was no shortage of tall towers, construction vehicles and creative building in our classroom this morning :)

The biggest hit of the day definitely the button building. The kids loved stacking the buttons onto the skewers. The colorful towers were bright and the children enjoyed exploring the different shapes, colors and sizes.

We also added corks into a bin of our blocks which gave the children a new material to build with which was lots of fun.

 Our art activity was painting tire tracks. The children loved driving the construction vehicles in the paint and then cover their paper with tracks.

 Construction week would not be complete without some diggers in the sand table :) 

Happy Monday everyone :)

Spraying Stars

I love art but even more I love watching children try new experiences with art. I lucked out on the day that we made our "Night Skies" that Mother Nature was on our side. The children had a lot more free range outside to explore and had a blast creating their masterpieces.

Today I ate a rainbow!!!

We introduced an amazing program at Imagination Station! The prgram "Today I Ate a Rainbow" is a great way to get children excited and educated about eating fruits and vegetables. It has been a hit in our classroom. The children enjoy looking through their snacks to see if they are eating a part of "the rainbow". This is also a great tool for families! Want more info??? Here is their website http://www.todayiatearainbow.com/ and it's a Kelowna based family who started the program!

Thank you Maple Ridge Fire Department!!!
