Christmas Fun!

I was so proud of the great job our students did at the Christmas concert on Friday.  Thank you to all of the families who were able to come out and join the Christmas fun.  A HUGE thank you goes out to Tim Horton's for donating the hot chocolate and Timbits!

Mindful Curriculum

Last week I introduced the students to mindful smelling and mindful tasting.  They had fun trying to guess the different smells I brought in.  They also enjoyed using all of their senses to see, touch, smell, and taste some different foods: an orange, pretzel, marshmallow, and chocolate chip.

Getting Messy

We had fun getting messy this week.  The students enjoyed the sensory experience of painting with marshmallows.  We also worked together to make a Christmas tree by each painting one green plate that we later assembled into a beautiful work of art!

Christmas Party 

We will be having a Christmas Party for all of our students on Thursday, December 22nd.  The Monday/Wednesday students are invited to join our Tuesday/Thursday classes for the day!  The morning students will still attend their normal morning hours, and the afternoon class will come during their scheduled afternoon time.

We are going to decorate gingerbread houses during our party.  I am looking for one-two parents to volunteer for this day, and also for a couple of parents who are interested in making icing for us (I have a great recipe that I can share!)  I will supply the houses, if each family can send a bag of candy.  I will mix all the candy for the kids to share, so if each family sends one kind of candy that will be great.  Please let me know if you are interested in making icing or helping out with our gingerbread fun!
