As Clyde Watson said, “November comes, and November goes. With the last red berries and the first white snows.”
We welcomed our new friends and families Kaine and Ramona! It been fun having them as additions in our room. We commemorated Remembrance Day through reading a story related to our loved, departed veterans; making crafts; and discussions why we celebrate them.
November went by with just a blink of an eye! We enjoyed the chilly weather. Buffalo enjoyed the outdoors with our different activities. We went on our community walks and nature exploration where the children were immersed into and shared experiences, engaged themselves in activities along our different routes and appreciated our natural urban environment. We focused on social interaction. Our visits to the different parks were very exciting. The different activities which included the scavenger hunts, in which the children enjoyed looking for specific sizes of flowers, leaves and feathers, and learning more about nature such as the names of the plants or the trees.
Obstacle courses were set up indoors for the children and they loved it so much! It was vital because the children developed physical skills like strength, balance, and coordination, and mental skills such as problem-solving, creativity, and resilience. The activities were fun ways to improve motor skills, promote healthy habits, build social skills through teamwork, and enhance sensory processing and emotional regulation for our dear children. Lastly in November, we celebrated “National Cake Day” where the children were informed of its origins and at the same time, we baked a simple cake recipe which the children got to enjoy.
December is here! We can feel the breeze of the season’s air, as well as we can see Christmas decorations around the neighbourhood. The children now began to talk about how they celebrate the holiday season.
This month will be full of exciting activities which the children will enjoy! We look forward to the “Cotton Candy Day”, the Holiday Luncheon, “Ginger Bread House Day”, Spirit Week, Winter Solstice, “National Cookie Exchange Day” and “Christmas Character Day”. There will be centre closures that will be posted soon.
