Welcome back everyone! I hope your child had a fun March Break!
Before the break...
The children really enjoyed our 'On the Loose with Dr. Seuss' focus before the break. We focused on identifying and making rhymes, measuring using non-standard measuring devices (our feet and links), patterning (did you see your child's 'Cat in the Hat' crown and their 'Socks on Fox' sock patterns?), making personal connections to what we've read (The Lorax), fine motor activities (Truffula Trees) and we investigated solids and liquids by making 'gluppity glupp' using water and cornstarch (the substance hardens until the heat of the child's hands turns it back to liquid). Lots of messy fun!
This week...
This week our learning centres and activities will be centred on 'travel and transportation'. We will be investigating various methods of travel, as well as how things move (sailboats need wind). We'll discuss where we've travelled to and how we got there. We'll look at maps, too.
Children will also have the opportunity to explore the sorting and patterning station, paint boats and cars, and create and eat wheels and axles! Watch for the booklet "How Will You Get There?" and please enjoy reading it with your child. Have them find the question marks and any other sight words they know!
Book Orders
Book orders will be sent home today and will be due back on Friday, March 23rd. Thanks!

Please ensure your child comes to school with a sun hat and shoes suitable for running outside. We will be enjoying this beautiful spring weather!
Thanks so much for checking in and enjoy the week!
Warmly,
Ms. Cox
