What an amazing start to summer we had in the Littles group! Our days were packed full of fun and playing outdoors that the month just seemed to fly by. Here are a few things we liked best about or busy days. On Friday July 20 we had an outdoor challenge in which we spent the whole day outside. It did not start off supper warm and dry but by the end of the day it was beautiful out. We did a lot of fun activities outside like making a mural, races, face paint and building forts. At nap time as a treat we all had a sleepover in the gym! Another great morning was when Mr. Ken came to visit us and did a lot of really cool magic tricks. If you ask the kids what he showed us they would all just tell you about his bunny named Mr. Harry Hoppdeani that they all got to pet. The busiest day of the month was definitely our trip to Assiniboine Nature Play ground and Park. We spent all day at the park exploring. In the morning we played on the play ground, the giant hill and the sand river were ou...

July came and went in the blink of an eye!  We can't believe how quickly it flew but we can only think that it is because of all the fun we had!  We said goodbye to Hayden at the end of July and welcomed Paisley into our room. We had so many special days this month and lots of fun activities!  We spent some of our picnic lunches at the Rec Center and the others in our play yard.  The kids enjoyed the extra time outdoors! We did a variety of activities and experiences for the kids on our water days.  We had a sprinkler one day, pom pom ice cubes another day and then we also set up a little car wash another day where the kids were given water and sponges to wash their little toy cars! We had a jello dig one day, where the kids used spoons to dig for little farm animals.  It was so messy but soooo much fun! "Mr. Ken Magic" came and visited us and put on an awesome magic show.  I think the highlight for the infant room kids was petting the bunny at the end...

Oh my goodness! The field trip was a big hit! The Toddle Bots could hardly contain their excitement to get on the bus and they all sat in the front and had their own seat belts on. It was pretty cute! We took a ton of photos and I had to pick and choose which ones to put on our documentation panel (which is located by the Toddle Bots lockers). Luckily this field trip was flexible enough that we could still fit in a quick rest time/ nap time for those who needed it (and some of them definitely needed it!) It will be interesting to see how the farm field trip will go in August (we can’t wait)!   Every Tuesday since July has started, we have been having off-site picnic lunches! We normally walk to the Rec Center, play there for a bit then eat our lunch and make our way back. We also have been having some of our snacks on the picnic tables outside in the morning which we have noticed giv es us WAY more time to play outside when it’s nice out and not really hot like the afternoon often...

Wow it’s been a busy start to the summer so far! We had a water day back in the beginning of June and stay tuned as I will be posting all of our water pictures in the room somewhere for you to look at once we have a few more water days under our belt! We may have to put them up back in the Toddle Bots area as there is more wall space there, so keep checking and feel free to go back there ever when the barrier is closed (we keep it closed so we don’t mix the toys between both areas so just make sure you close it back up when you’re done). We had a show and share and it was really funny to watch the children each take a turn and say what they wanted to say about their toy. They seemed to enjoy sitting up on the chair as everyone else was on the carpet and they had the time without anyone else talking as well (some of them got a little shy).   In June, Fit Kids, Healthy Kids ended their 8 th session with us. The Toddle Bots and Littles always got excited when it was their turn to...

August already! Wow I cannot believe our summer is half over!   This month has been super busy.   We got to know our new teacher Andrea better and welcomed De to our group!   They are wonderful additions and have really fit in so perfectly with our groups.   We also said “see you soon” to Haley, it was an emotional day for everyone.   We will miss Haley immensely she has been with the centre for almost 1 ½ years.   As I’m sure most of you know Haley loved working with the kids, they were always her first priority.   The kids said they will miss Haley’s jokes, snuggles and smile.   Good luck Haley with your future endeavours, we know you’ll do amazing.   We’ve had lots of fun events, PJ day, Canada Day activities, water days, field trips and so much more.                For our field trip we went to Assiniboine Park.   We split in to two groups the Rainbow Tigers and ...
