Garbage Day!

Is there anything more exciting than garbage day at preschool? No way! Our sanitation engineer is so friendly and wonderful and he stops to say hi as he does his daily duty. When we hear the truck rumble up, someone yells "GARBAGE TRUCK!!" and most of the group runs to the fence to get a good look. We watch as the bags get squashed by the machinery and squeal in delight at the noise.

It is a lot of fun and seeing community members at work does a lot to show the children how everyone is a valuable member of our society.

Picture Wall and our fish's name is unveiled!

Here's some info about our Picture Wall. If you haven't seen it yet, it's in the Orange Room on the wall to the left hand side of the room. We are informally putting all photos there in an effort to make our classroom feel a little more homey.  It can be a family shot, just siblings or pets or even just a favourite stuffie. Just something that they love from home. 

Don't worry if you haven't submitted a photo yet, you can submit them any time to Miss Heidi via email or to a classroom teacher. And don't forget to come and check it out. You're more than welcome in our room anytime.


We look forward to getting it all filled up!



This is the reaction we're looking for with our wall. Children are free to take photos down to look at them closely



This is our new classroom fish. The previous inhabitant of the tank was feeling rather poorly and finally went to the big aquarium in the sky (sea?). After a class vote where most of the children chose either foods or their own names, we've finally settled on "T-Bone". So if you hear your child talking about playing with T-Bone at school, don't be alarmed... they don't mean meat!


Just a quick note to help the class move smoothly: If you arrive in the morning wearing rain boots for outside play, can you please remove indoor shoes from their backpacks and place them at the bottom of their cubbies? It would be great for their self help to be able to just grab their shoes quickly after outside rather than to unzip bags and dig around for them. Thanks for understanding!

Welcome to 2018!

Can you believe we've been together a whole month already? We are all experiencing new things; from the children learning new routines to the teachers.... learning new routines Haha!

Instead of overwhelming you with too much new information that you've probably already read in the newsletter, I'll overwhelm you with photos instead! For blog purposes, I will never show the children's faces.

Enjoy your first month tour of our class and programme!

Thanks for reading! I look forward to Sharing more weekly throughout the year.

Miss Karen
