We
had a fun week filled with bunny and Easter activities! The kids made bunny ears and
hop, hop, hopped like bunnies for an entire morning! We read some stories, made some crafts and we even had an Easter egg
hunt with eggs hidden in the whole school. Best part of the hunt was finding an egg filled with goodies that had their own name on it!
Welcome!
We hope you find this blog to be a wonderful looking glass into your child's world. We have a fun filled year ahead of us, with lots of learning, crafts, special activities and field trips planned. Please check back often, to see photos and updates of your child as they grow and explore this year!

SCIENCE!!!
L’il Scientists
We had a great day exploring through science!! We used
several different items from around the classroom and put them in water to see
what sinks and what floats. We used popsicle sticks, feathers, spoons, cars and
more. We also did an experiment that made milk perform magic with colours! Years of experience has taught us one thing... anything that lets's kids get messy and be hands on is successful science to 3 Year olds!
Science East Field Trip
We took a field trip to Science East. We all had an awesome
time checking out the science exhibits – what a great place to go and
explore! At the start of our visit, we were treated to a science show that taught the kids about bubbles and it ended with a balloon race! Not sure what they enjoyed more, catching and popping bubbles or letting their super long balloons go and watch them race and swirl across the room!

St.Patrick's Day!
HAPPY ST. PATRICK’S DAY J
We had a great day filled with St. Patrick’s Day fun! We made cool
shamrock hats, went on a shamrock hunt to spell our names, and read the story
about the old lady who swallows a clover. The kids also had so much fun picking
up gold coins that just wouldn’t stay in the pot of gold; every time the kids
filled the pot of gold, the coins would be flying across the room! The luck of
the Irish was with us today at preschool because the gold coins turned into
chocolate ones that were able to eat! The tricky leprechauns must have visited
the preschool too without anyone seeing them because they turned our snack
water green!!
Seuss-i-riffic!
Dr. Seuss
We celebrated his birthday! What an amazingly creative and imaginative
writer J We
knocked over a tower made up of Dr. Seuss characters; we had green eggs and ham
for snack; made a cat in the hat craft; and we put our own spin on Hop On Pop
by hopping on balloons to make them pop!

February Highlights
February was a fun and busy month. We covered a few different themes this month and we managed to get some outdoor playtime despite all the snow and cold weather. We finished talking about shapes, then moved on to love with Valentine's Day, we moved and grooved to a learning unit on Music & Movement and we are ending our month talking about pets. Please see below for some random candid moments with the kids throughout February as well as some photos related to the above mentioned themes.
Valentine’s Day: The kids were all dressed in red or pink from head to
toe! We had a fun day but I think the kids’ favourite activity was the rose
petals on the parachute.
Music & Movement: What a wonderfully musical week! The kids loved
show & tell with their instruments from home…then we used them to create a
marching band!!
Conan loved holding PRINCESS
One of Anneka’s favourite activities is the puzzles
Cameron checking out how many snowballs tall he is
Conner doing a great job star jumping during shapes week
Myles stretching tall with the pylon “I’m as tall as you Ms. Amy!”

Circle Time
Every
morning we start the day together with a circle time. One of the activities
that we do is to put our “people” on the wall to show who’s here that day.
Their people are ones that each child coloured during our very first class and
we have put their names on them and laminated them for durability. When handing
them out, we always say the first letter of each child’s name – for example: A
is for…Amy. This is a great way for the kids to learn each other’s names, start
to recognize the names as well as letters in the alphabet and the sounds they
make. The kids then stick their person on the wall. The kids have started to
put their person on the wall under their picture in the class caterpillar –
great job guys!!
January Highlights
January was
a cold month! We did have some special snow to play with – thanks Erin! It was
a great science experiment; we added water to a special powder (“snow to go”)
and it expanded and turned cold…just like snow!
We did
manage to get outside to play on at least one occasion – we worked together to
build a snowman!!

Special Visitor
We had a special visitor in today – Cst. Jeanette Hudson. She’s a police officer here in Fredericton and she stopped by for a visit to read a few stories to us. She read 2 books; Where’s the Dragon? and Stephanie’s Ponytail. The kids were a little shy at first but warmed up quickly and had a lot of questions for her J This was a great way to meet an officer in our community! She also talked to the kids about how important it is to read and why we should be nice to others. What a great visit; hopefully she’ll come back soon!!

We are off to a great start in the new year. The kids are happy to be back and now, even happier to have had their 1st field trip for 2013... SKATING! What a great turn out and a great time for everyone. We are always so happy to see so much of our kids families show up for events like this!We had a mix of all kinds on the ice, some first timers all the way to some very experienced little skaters. We even managed to get every settled into the centre for a group shot, although multiple group shots are posted below to ensure we covered everyone. We can't wait for the next field trip... until then keeping checking the blog for regular posts about the activities going on in class!
