Roaring, Soaring and Sailing Our Way Through our Second Week of Transportation!
Roaring, Soaring and Sailing Our Way Through our Second Week of Transportation!
Transportation is always a fun unit and we have so many cars, trucks, and trains in our classroom that it was guaranteed to always hear a variety of pretend train, truck, or car noises popping up during play time.

Painting With Monster Trucks
Painting With Monster Trucks
We rolled into creativity this week using trucks and paint for our transportation theme! This helps little hands build coordination, sensory play and emotional expression!

Running for Terry!
Running for Terry!
We had a little Terry Fox run this week on both Thursday and Friday. After looking at some pictures of Terry, we had an age appropriate chat about how Terry tried to run across Canada to raise money for people who are sick, even though he was sick himself! The students were excited to run across the school yard for Terry and this activity introduced them to a Canadian hero and this very important cause.

Harrison P. Spader, Personal Space Invader
Harrison P. Spader, Personal Space Invader
On Tuesday we listened to this very important story about personal space. In the story, Harrison P. Spader, Personal Space Invader, Harrison learns the importance of giving space to his friends. Giving personal space is an important skill that we will be working on all year in EIPK. I have linked the story below incase you want to listen the story at home with your child as well.

Windshield Wipers!
Windshield Wipers!
The poem we did this week was surprisingly catchy and fun. I love to watch your children as they gain confidence to try the actions and also say the words as their speech and language skills improve with every practice! I've included the words below for those of you who want to try it at home as well.

Windshield Wiper
Windshield Wiper
I'm a windshield wiper, (put your arms up like windshield wipers)
This is how I go. (slowly move your arms back and forth)
Back and forth, back and forth, (move your arms quicker)
In the rain and snow! (stop moving your arms after saying snow)
How Do You Get to School?
How Do You Get to School?
On Thursday our four-year-olds had a very simple introduction to graphing. We built a bar graph as we learned how each person travels to school. This early numeracy activity reinforced important skills such as sorting, comparing, and counting!

A huge thank you goes out to Kayla Cooper for making us our first batch of play dough this week! The students loved the orange and green, and having the play dough smell good was an extra hit!

Reporting Absences
Reporting Absences
Many parents have been emailing me to let me know that their child will be absent. While I appreciate having a heads up, this method will not be effective if I am sick or away for another reason.
