March has been a very busy month, and wow, did it ever fly by. We have been busy decorating our room with flowers and fun spring decor that the children have created.
We really enjoyed the “Fill your bucket” theme. It was nice to hear the children using such kind words to one another and looking out for each other by, sharing/offering toys and making sure everyone was included. We often heard them say, “you are filling my bucket, I feel happy” or, “you made me sad, you did not fill my bucket”. When these were said some of the children were quick to ask, “How can I fill your bucket?” We had some families also tell us that the children were using these words at home as well, it’s wonderful to see them piece it all together.
We welcomed Brittany to OF during the middle of March and we were so pleased at how well the children have adapted to having a new staff (although most of them knew who she was). She brought us some fresh, new and exciting song/games that the children have been enjoying. We are so lucky to have her with us!
We have noticed the children have really been enjoying books so we have been changing out the library books every 2 weeks. In addition, Kerri has been stopping by the public library to get some fresh and exciting new books. The children are excited when the “blue library bag” comes out as they do not know which books will be in there. If you want an idea of books that your child has been interested in, please ask the staff in the room and we would be happy to tell you some of the current favourites!
During the school spring break we had so much fun! On Monday, Ryan Price, a magician, came in and showed us all some pretty cool magic tricks. He invited 2 children up on stage and Aubrey and Rylan were the lucky two chosen from OF to help out with a few tricks. They both did a great job on stage! For the remainder of the day, the kids all talked about his tricks and some kids even decided to put on their own "magic shows" in the drama center. On Tuesday, we did all kinds of Easter activities, plus an egg hunt! Wednesday was PJ day and the school age children set up an special obstacle course for us in the gym - it was fun to have a variety of ages in the gym encouraging and cheering each other on! On Thursday, we got to free a lot of energy in the gym on a super cool bouncer! It was so big and designed as a obstacle course with a huge slide. The children needed a little help getting up the ladder to the slide, thankfully, between Devon, Haley and Brittany they were guided up and down the slide. We took lots of photos so keep your eyes peeled as we will be posting very soon!
We're looking forward to April and hoping the weather warms up as we intend on getting outside a lot. Please remember to send appropriate outdoor gear and extras if you have as we often go outside twice a day.
