We have been enjoying the beautiful autumn (l’ automne) weather and everything fall has to offer, along with the beautiful colours, textures, smells and the yummy food. We have incorporated Fall in various ways in our role playing, sensory and culture activities. In each French lesson, we translated the English words to French words.

The children have been travelling to galaxies far, far away by reading books, colouring fact sheets, cutting on a line to space objects, singing songs, exploring sensory materials, and role playing being astronauts. What an “out of this world” learning experience!

A child in our classroom told a story about going on a picnic with his family. This piqued the interest of the other children in the classroom who listened to the story, asked questions, and told their own stories of picnics and eating with their families. Another child asked if we could have a picnic on our playground at school, which other children echoed.

The children helped to make fruit popsicles by taking turns scooping the ingredients into a jug. Then they scooped the blended mixture, poured it into the moulds, and placed popsicle sticks inside. What a healthy, refreshing summer treat!

In North Casa, the children are celebrating Pride month. It is a celebration of unity, love and community. The children enjoyed creating their own rainbow art using markers, paint and construction paper. We also explored and discussed books on the diversity of families.

We observe the life cycle of a butterfly from caterpillar, to chrysalis, to butterfly, right in our own classroom! While we watch for the butterflies to emerge, the children have the opportunity to do extended activities, such as a life cycle puzzle, a life cycle book with objects and matching cards, as well as drip art and prick a shape butterflies. Once all the butterflies emerge, we take them outside on a warm, sunny day and release them into nature. What an experience!

Earth Day is a great time to learn about our planet and how we can contribute everyday to take care of it! We participated in Earth Day this year by using recycled newspaper to make biodegradable planters, filling those planters with soil, and carefully placing seeds in the soil.

The children enjoy classical music, echo songs or favourite stories in the listening centre as well as playing instruments and incorporating movement. During the child’s developmental years, lyrics and musical expression can strengthen their gross motor skills through movement; their focus/concentration and memory; as well as expand their vocabulary.
