Strawberries, Blueberries, and MUD!

We had a fun week full of Pete the Cat activities!  We spent time reading "Pete the Cat: I Love My White Shoes" by Eric Litwin.  In this book Pete steps in strawberries, blueberries, and mud!  Some of our students enjoyed trying out Pete's walk at school as well.  Sorry about the dirty clothes and feet - I promise you the sensory experience was worth it!

Pete's Pizza

We also enjoyed a special Pete the Cat snack this week.  The students were excited to be involved in making their very own Pete the Cat Pizzas!  The pizzas were simple: a rice cake crust, followed by Nutella or Wow Butter for the mud, strawberries, blueberries, and Cool Whip.  Delicious!

Routine, Routine, Routine

Routine is SO important for little people.  We have spent the majority of our time these past few weeks working on our classroom routines.  From lining up in the boot room to cleaning up after playtime.  Routine and consistency help children to feel safe and secure in their surroundings.  

In the Gym

This week in the gym we began learning about the gym routine.  We also enjoyed time to explore different stations including scooters, hula hoops, and jumping stations. 

Library

Pre-Kindergarten will begin going to the library this week!  Students will have a chance to borrow books from the library.  Our scheduled library days are Monday's and Thursday's.  If you send your child's book back on one of the scheduled library days they will be able to pick a new book to borrow the following week.

Terry Fox Walk

Being that there is no PK on Friday, our classes will have their own little Terry Fox Walk around the school yard on Wednesday and Thursday.  You are welcome to send in a loonie or a toonie sometime this week if you want to support this cause.  

Stay Tuned for Pictures

We are still waiting for the final green light to be able to share all of the cute pictures we have taken at school.  We promise we will share them on the blog as soon as we are allowed.  They will be worth the wait!
