This Week in the Maple Room

Children have settled into the routine and have developed skills to navigate through the day very well. They have enjoyed our outdoor space for easel painting, mopping, shell washing, and chair washing. Rice and magnet has been very popular along with all the works that have water!

We have been learning about our planet earth, land and water forms and plants/trees. We will continue to learn more about these and begin exploring parts of plants, animals and study about North America, the continent we live in.

Children are welcome to bring in anything they find interesting about trees/plants/leaves to share with their classmates. We do not have an assigned day for show and tell. Any day is good to bring in items that are interesting to your child, although toys and jewelry are not appropriate items for show and tell.

Handmade item, cultural item, book, souvenir from travels, nature walk items found by them (rock, leaf, twig, insect, etc.) are all great things for show and tell.

Thank you to all the parents who have been sending great nutritious snacks. Children are  loving to cut carrots, cucumbers, cheese sticks. On your snack day, please feel free to send in a few of these fruits and vegetables that children can cut and serve to their friends.

Thank you to all those who attended the volunteer meeting. We are looking forward to great times with you  soon.

Overheard this week: “I know how you can tell if a “cicader” (cicada) is a boy or girl. You have to look real close and if she has long eyelashes and pink lips, it’s a girl” Sasha.
