The first snow day!

Well, we had the first snow day of the school year, and what a beautiful winter day to be outside!!!

 Anthony and Lillian were both full of smiles!

 A.J. finished his breakfast outside, and Allie is all smiles before she sleds down the hill!

 A.J.'s favourite place for a nap - all bundled up in the stroller!

 Snow angels...

 Lillian and Allie wanted to be tucked in!

 We had some special visitors.  I loved having all the extra helping hands of four older girls!

 We were so excited to see our visitors arrive on snowmobiles!!

 

We love snow days!!

Christmas is less than a month away!

Well, Christmas is now less than a month away.  We are starting to wrap 'presents' (empty boxes) and we are going to try setting up our Christmas tree this afternoon.  Stay tuned for some pictures of this exciting time!

Room change

I have old sheets that I have had out for the children to make forts with since the summer time.  It started as a fort, and then these three girls worked together all morning and I think they moved every piece of furniture around in the day care room! (And helped me move it all back at lunch time!!)

                                                I really enjoyed watching them co operate!

 A.J. was a little confused when he woke up from his nap and then seemed to enjoy the room change.

 I had hidden Hallowe'en rings in leaves in the sensory table, and finally got around to changing it yesterday.  I asked Allie to help me find the rings and she decided to sort them into colour groups.  What a great pre math activity!  I love all the learning that can take place when I follow your child(ren)'s lead! 

A little bit of everything!

Boy, it sure is hard to come up with titles for my blog some weeks.  We just get busy, and sometimes it's not just one thing we are doing.  Hope you enjoy these pictures.  Thanks for looking.

                                      A.J. sure is enjoying his steering wheel, gear shift etc.

                                             Look at the helicopter Carson made!

         Bronwynn, and Lillian had a great time helping me make lemon bread for snack!

What have we been up to?

After our crazy Hallowe'en week, I haven't had a chance to update the blog.  It's been kind of a busy week.  The children have been busy with many activities.

There is a lot of art/creating going on this morning (with two 3 year olds and a 4 year old).  We've made poppies and talked a little bit about remembrance day.  Lillian is now drawing dead soldiers!!

Before school, everyone was busy with the K'nex.  It was neat to see the older boys working together, and the younger children were right in there with them, and everyone was sharing the pieces.  It was great.

We've been playing a lot in the long grass in the ditches outside.  A lot of hide and seek!

We also had the sheets out for tents and used the tunnel to get into our tents.

Thanks for reading!
