We were excited to host our summer family BBQ! This year’s fundraising event is in support of Pancreatic Cancer Canada. We had a food truck come provide the delicious barbecued food. Fire It Up BBQ catering did an amazing job! The bake sale was also a great success. We had the generous support of our families and staff who supplied all the baked goodies. It is amazing what we can accomplish when we come together as a community. A great time was had by everyone!

Summer is here! The children enjoy spending more time outside embracing the warm sunny weather. They get super excited on Sprinkler day! It is a time for them to splash in puddles, fill buckets to the brim, play catch with water toys and most importantly, run through the sprinkler. It is a great way to stay cool on a hot sunny day!

In addition to playing the Montessori bells, the older Casa children have also been learning how to play the ukulele weekly. The children have been playing many songs using the C, C7, F, and G7 chords. Through their exposure to the ukulele, the children have also been exploring various music notation concepts such as notes, the staff, musical alphabet, clefs, and time signature.
Please click “Ukulele” for more photos and information about what songs the children have been playing.

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!

In recent yoga classes, Cheeba has focused on teaching the children the “lion” pose. This particular pose is geared to help children work through complex emotions by incorporating relaxation breathing. In this pose, the children inhale then deeply and silently exhale, thus allowing them to release any unwanted energy they may have.

The child begins by placing one of the chains from the bead cabinet, its corresponding tickets, squares, cube, and counter on their math tray. This activity allows the child to visually see what it looks like when skip counting. Indirectly, the activity prepares the mind for multiplication, squaring, and cubing.
Please click “Skip Counting” for details on how a child works on skip counting.
