Congratulations to our character award winners for the months of November and December. These friends demonstrated empathy and kindness and caring.
This month we are discussing teamwork and looking for students who are demonstrating these skills.
Before the break students went on a trip to the Ontario Science Centre.
There they explored various hands on activities at Kids Spark. We also participated in a workshop, acting as investigators to discover who a had taken the frogs from the rain forest.
Thank you to all the parents or family members who volunteered that day. More information about the Science Centre can be found on their website: Ontario Science Centre.
Families can also acquire free passes to the Science Centre through the Toronto Public Library’s Map Pass program. Just visit your local branch to find out more or click on the following link: Map Passes.
We hope everyone had a wonderful break, celebrating the season with their families. At school we were preparing by making various items. At the creative and writing tables we were preparing materials for decorating our homes and celebrating the ones we love.
We also worked on our designing skills at the loose parts table and our fine motor skills when doing some practice wrapping of “presents.”
We also made a cake in class to eat and celebrate the season with our friends.
Happy New Year!
