Tiny Fairy Food Party

Next Friday, March 30th, we will celebrate the end of our wonderful Fairytale study with a Tiny Fairy Food Party and Royal Ball. I will prepare the miniature cheerio donuts and some small glasses of pink lemonade. If you would like, you can make some teeny tiny snacks for your child for that day as well. Details on the Royal Ball to come soon, but be sure to book your carriages early! Please send a note in with your child by next Wednesday, March 28th to give them permission to have the cheerios and lemonade. Or if you would rather they did not have these, please send in something else for your child to enjoy with us.Thank you!

Artist In Residence Tomorrow!

Tomorrow Deirdre Hierlihy is coming to our class to teach the children how to make wax sculptures. Her visit is part of the Artist in Residence program sponsored by the Parent Council. Thank you to all of you who helped make this happen! In case of messiness, older clothes might be a good idea. It should be a wonderful experience.

Mittens and Socks

Now that we are at last entering Mud Season, please make sure your child has an extra pair of mittens and socks in her or his bag every day. For some reason the children think that their splash pants and boots make them impervious to water and we get a lot of wet toes and fingers. We go through a lot of extra clothes, so please keep your child comfy and up to date! Thank you so much.    

Happy International Women's Day!!

Today in class we discussed why this day is a special day and we made cards for the most special woman in the children's lives, her or his mother. The cards are in their school bags for you. The girls got to go first in line today to celebrate them. They really enjoyed that. We hope you have a wonderful day.

Looking at Pictures

Katharina Czerny, a grandmother of two Broadview children and a Volunteer from the National Art Gallery, will be visiting the school on Monday (morning class) and Wednesday (afternoon class)   and will give both our classes a presentation called Looking at Pictures. There will be a new Art Gallery Centre in the classroom as a follow-up to her visit. It should be great!

What Comes After Zed?

 We have finished our Letter A Day and now we will now begin putting some letters together to make simple words. We will play a singing game from the old days of Sesame Street that goes like this:
You take the C, that's "C"
and the A-T, "AT"
You put it all together and that spells (The children call out the answer) CAT!
That's CAT, C-A-T, CAT, well that's CAT, C-A-T, CAT.

Thank you to everyone who sent in Alphabet books. They were very much enjoyed!!

Tomorrow we will begin our next unit, which is Fairytales!

We will be reading stories about castles,

                                                 enchanted animals,

and all your favourite characters.

So there's a lot that happens after the Zed!    : )

Valentine's Day Parties

Dear Parents;

   For fun tomorrow we decided to wear Valentine colours if we have them. So check your closets and bring out all the red, white, pink and purple you can find. The more the merrier. We will also be wearing our Love Bug hats, which the morning class  made with their reading buddies. The afternoon class has reading buddies later, so our very hard-working volunteers helped them make these beautiful hats. We will deliver the Valentine cards to the children's mailboxes and send them home to be opened there so none get lost or mixed up. It will be lots of fun to see what the cards look like. Happy Valentine's Day, everyone!
