It's Been a Short Week!

We had a wonderful three day week.  The kids had fun with our bear theme this week.  They have been enjoying the "Bear Cave" that Mrs. Forchuk made for our classroom!  We have also been having fun with the book "Brown Bear Brown Bear, What Do You See?"

We strengthened our fine motor skills this week by making some name art using dried pasta and chick peas.  We also created paper poppies for Remembrance Day.





Emergency Evacuation

I was so proud of the morning class, they were calm and followed protocol during the Riverview emergency evacuation practice on Tuesday morning.  Our class was so well behaved and quiet - we were stellar role models for our fellow Riverview students!

Remembrance Day Ceremony

Riverview put on a very nice Remembrance Day ceremony.  Our morning PreK's did a fantastic job sitting through the presentation!  I chatted with both classes about Remembrance Day and started to touch on the basics about what Remembrance Day stands for.  

We were lucky enough to have a visit from Mrs. Forchuk's son before the ceremony began.  He showed the class his uniform and talked about his badges.  Click here to see the pic: Remembrance Day



Hibernation Day!

Next week our little bears will enjoy a PreK hibernation day!!  

We will do hibernation day twice, so that all of our students have a chance to be involved.  We will "hibernate" on both Wednesday and Thursday next week.  

On hibernation day your child is invited to wear their pajamas and bring their favourite bear to school so that we can "hibernate!"

Coming Up

Next week we will continue with our bears unit.  We will also begin practicing for our PreK Christmas concert - stay tuned for more details regarding a date and time!  We will also continue with the MindUp Curriculum.  We will be learning about the difference between mindful vs. unmindful behaviours.
