Mother's Day Preparation and Water Day Fun!


Now that Mother's Day has passed, it's safe to show a few pictures of the children working on their cards and projects without spoiling the surprise.




While working on these projects the children were able to use many different media and skills such as writing, scissors, drawing, stamping, painting, and tissue paper. The end projects really showcased the children's talents and were made with a lot of love for mom!












This was a multi-day project and it was exciting to see the children work so diligently to create something special for their mothers. It was also fun to watch the anticipation grow as the projects came together and it got closer to our Mother's Day Tea!








We hope you enjoyed their projects as much as they enjoyed making them!

We have continued to review and work on counting, number sense, and logic activities. Our friends O and G are showing their understanding of patterns below.








Also this week we did some fun, and a little messy, things outside. First we painted a big box brought in by a Teacher Karen. This box has since become a boat, garbage truck, house, and the most sought after hiding spot for "hide-n-go seek"!






Lastly, we had our first of what is sure to be many "water days." What started off as a gentle mist soon turned into children drenched from head to toe running around in pure glee!









All things must come to an end and soon it was time to sit in the sun and dry off.



We will have many more wet days so please apply waterproof sun block to your children before school everyday, and make sure they have plenty of extra clothes at school to change into.

Love and good things!
Teacher Aimee, Rashida, Thaovy
