All About Landon

Landon entertained us after recess with his all about me event. It was extra special because it his also his birthday today! He brought two special guests, his Mom and Uncle Jeremy. Landon read us his book, showed us his car collection and let us dance to a couple of his favourite songs. The kids especially liked Fire Burning and The Good Old Hockey Game! After that, they had many questions for his special guests. Thank you for sharing with us Landon!

All About Everett

We had a wonderful opportunity to listen to Everett share his All About Me book today. Did you know that his favourite song is "Black Betty" and that he knows his whole phone number? Wow! We were very excited to see his special guest Lulu which gave us a great hands on way to talk about dog safety with a very polite role model :)

Thank you to Linda for bringing Everett's special guest and working so hard with  him on his special book! 

What is in snow?

Despite my sharing my thoughts on eating snow, I have seen the kids face first eating it while they pretend to be puppies outside. I wanted to show them exactly what was in snow, so we did a mini experiment. We collected snow from 3 places.

We waited for the snow to melt, and to our surprise, we found many yucky things in all three samples including rocks, scum, unknown floating particles and even hair! Yuck! 

We talked about drinking from outdoor water sources and how important it is to only drink or eat known foods from our parents so that we can be safe.
