In January, Wolf Den explored science activities and art through hands-on experiences. The wolves experimented with bubbles outdoors, watching them freeze around different pipe cleaner shapes. We also explored snow both indoors and outdoors, by bringing snow inside for sensory play and investigation, and heading outdoors to enjoy going down the big hills and shovelling snow. Along with these activities, we explored some relaxing yoga poses to support calm bodies, balance, and mindfulness. The wolves also celebrated birthdays, and warmly welcomed a Isla and her family into our wolf pack.

We were also excited to welcome Prairie Wildlife Rehabilitation to our preschool floor. The Wolves learned what to do if a bird falls from a tree, and explored animal safety through a fun rhyme that helped them understand which animals we can help and which animals to leave alone. There was also a very smart crow who can mimic sounds, along with a visit from a bunny, making this a memorable experience and meaningful learning experience.
In February, we are excited to celebrate I Love To Read Month through stories, music, and meaningful conversations. The wolves are building a love through literacy by exploring books through dramatic play, outdoor experiences, and art. We will be welcoming special guests like, RRC educators, the WAV MITS owner, Downtown Community Safety Partnership, and many more they will be joining us through the month to read stories to the wolves. Families are also invited to participate, if you would like to read a story or sing a song with the Wolf Den, please let us know. Throughout the month, the wolves are exploring favourite stories through play based experiences such as The Gruffalo, The Giving Tree, The Rainbow Fish, and Mortimer, creating a February filled with storytelling, imagination, and connection in our environment.
February is also a special month as we celebrate four Wolf Den birthdays! We look forward to making these celebrations meaningful and joyful for each child. We are also excited to invite families to our Tea & Talk family gathering on February 13 at 3:00 p.m. This potluck style gathering is a chance to connect and build community. We will be providing music, pizza, and iced tea for everyone to enjoy.
As part of daily routines locker clean up will be incorporated into our environment. Winter gear will be sent home to be washed, and water bottles will be sent home every Friday to be sanitized. Families are kindly asked to return all items on Monday. Thank you so much for your continued support and collaboration.
