January was an enjoyable and enriching month for our Eagles, filled with engaging activities that supported both learning and fun. As we move into February, we are excited to continue offering meaningful experiences and new adventures.
The Prairie Wildlife visit was a highlight of January. The children enjoyed the presentation and loved learning about animals like the crow and bunny. Seeing them up close and hearing their stories made the experience both exciting and educational.
Throughout January, the Eagles participated in a variety of activities, including car wash pretend play, face painting, spa days, and crazy hair day. We also hosted a Sports Day, during which children dressed according to their favourite sports. Many Eagles proudly wore their sports jerseys.
The children thoroughly enjoyed the baking soda volcano experiment, observing how the “snow volcano” erupted. They also explored colourful water play while waiting for the snow to melt. Additional activities included pretend construction play, snowman bowling, and a special Disney Day, where children dressed in their favourite costumes.
Several birthdays were celebrated this month, and the children enjoyed dance parties to mark these special occasions. While January was full of positive moments, the Eagles were saddened to say goodbye to one of their friends. We wish her all the best in her future endeavours and will miss her dearly.
For birthday and farewell celebrations, children enjoyed treats such as gluten-free cupcakes, cookies, and Rice Krispie treats. The recipe used is shared on our parent board.
The Eagles also participated in daily physical activities, including yoga, meditation, body stretching, duck walks, and outdoor sledding. The month concluded with a Pyjama Day, where children enjoyed hot chocolate and a movie.
Planned activities for February include:
Valentine’s Day card making
Fizzy heart experiments
Frozen dinosaur sensory bins
Salt-painted snowflakes
Ice fishing activities
Cloud dough volcanoes with Valentine-themed colours
We will also celebrate Lunar New Year by creating paper plate lanterns. Children will be making popsicle-stick picture frames as gifts for their families and will participate in Read-O-Rama by reading with elders at the Villa.
Additionally, the Eagles will prepare healthy Valentine’s treats and will be introducing a lending library for families. Parents may borrow books to read at home by signing books in and out on the provided sheet.
