Whew, what a busy couple weeks!  As we enter into our third week of school, I just wanted to quickly share what we've been up to, to date.  The kids are getting on great and everyone is settling in beautifully.  The first few weeks of school are always about connecting/reconnecting, learning school/classroom rules, routines, and procedures, but, and this is most important, having a lot of fun.  Starting school can be scary and stressful for little ones, so to make the transition and the start of school joyful, we've been busy "cooking" up a storm, building amazing Lego creations, going on adventures in the woods, puddle jumping, playing with magic play-dough, reading some classroom favourites, learning our Zoo-phonics, smudging every morning, exploring water colour paints, and playing in the rain.

It has been an absolute pleasure getting to know this new group of students, we've learned so much about each other, and us educators are super excited to see whats to come this school year.

Let's keep rolling kiddos, there's so much more to come <3

To cap off a wonderful day, Mary Dale brought out two bins of suds and demonstrated to the children how she could make large bubbles with just two sticks and a string.  Shortly into our bubble play, a small group of middles came outdoors and did a great job making giant bubbles for the children to chase after and pop.

Weston plays really well independently and isn't afraid to go off and explore his surroundings, however, in recent months he has moved onto wanting to play more and more with his classmates.  Wherever they are, he's right there next to them, participating in their imaginative games and keeping a close eye on their movements and activities.  Way to go Weston!
