Happy Birthday!

We celebrated a birthday in Pre K A, today.


A couple of children worked together on a new puzzle.  They are learning to work together and share.  We celebrated a job well done when they completed it with only a little assistance from adults.



The art centre is becoming more popular.  Children are learning to use their own creativity to work on projects.  It may not look like a "polished" piece of art, but these self made projects are something to be proud of!  When children make these works of art, they are using thinking skills, creativity, as well as practising fine motor skills.  Parents should be very impressed when their child brings home these treasures and  they deserve to be displayed in a place of honour. (Perhaps on the kitchen fridge or a wall in the child's bedroom)

Chocolate Pudding Finger Painting



Today we had several volunteers to help with Chocolate Pudding Finger Painting.




Those children who chose to participate seemed to enjoy themselves.  

Surprisingly, several children could not be convinced to get their hands dirty.  This boy started to scoop the pudding on his paper, but decided he did not want to put his hands in the stuff, stopped and decided to play somewhere else.

Volunteers stayed to play with the kids.  Here the whole family stayed to play.

Thanks Volunteers!
