It has been a lovely but very cold week. With temperature around -15 and colder, we have been staying indoors most mornings, with short play time outside for some fresh air.
It was great fun bringing our trucks out to play on the snow pile. In the classroom , we have been spending time in the home corner caring for the toy babies and enjoyed lots of building with the train 🚂 tracks.
During gym today, we practiced jumping, hopping and running. We have also been learning to wait for our turn.
On Wednesday, the Parrots warmly welcomed their grandparents and guardians for coffee ☕ and snack. We enjoyed spending time to, sharing a snack, playing and proudly giving the special gifs we had made for them.

Penguins 🐧 have been enjoying a lot of painting this week! They played with the paint's texture, exploring how to scoop up paint using the hands and creating layers on the paper. And they also made their very own recycled paper! 🙌🏽 It was fun to see how the blender broke the pieces of paper. ✂️ Later they put the mixture on the tray and let it dry.

The Hawks continued on their sea animal theme. The children chose and colored different sea animals to laminate and use in the water table. They also continue to play in the space ship and be astronauts.
On Friday, the children colored beautiful dolphin mandalas to hang over the water table. Additionally, we have begun to visit a different playground to practice climbing. Finally, on Friday, we continued with our yoga segment.
