Back to School!

Happy September! Another school year has begun and we couldn't be more excited. A big welcome back to all the returning kids and a huge hello to all the new ones! The classrooms have been restocked with new toys, games and activities.





The colour this month is PURPLE and the shape is a CIRCLE



 Let's get ready for school! In the Tree Room, there are various activities that give children the opportunity to practice making their lunches and packing their lunch bags. As well, there is a dress-up center with coats and backpacks. 


 
Once the children are ready for school, they can ride or drive the school bus to the pretend classroom!
 

In the pretend classroom, the children have the opportunity to be the teacher and teach the class. Or they could be one of  the students and sit for circle time.
 


 
Another fun addition to the classroom is the life sized Mr. Potato Head! Children have the opportunity to learn about body parts, work on requesting, they could dress Mr. Potato Head up with a peer and practice turn taking.
 
 
The tactile tables are usually a big hit with our kiddos. This month, we have a search and find tactile table filled with shredded paper and different school supplies.
