Ww – Winter

We had the most amazing last week of school before mid-term started! This week, we explored fire and ice, learning that fire is hot, hot, hot, and ice is cold, cold, cold. The Pups understood these ideas perfectly. We also learned about opposites, which they picked up so well, making me super proud of them. 

For our art project, we made adorable polar bears using stuffing for their fur, and the Pups knew exactly where to put the stuffing on the bears’ bodies. We also worked on our art expo projects during this busy week. The Pups had fun with fine motor activities, sitting together on the carpet and enjoying threading exercises, showing off their amazing skills once again. 

 For Yoga this week we did:

Foot Rolling 

Our prop for the day was a drumstick, we sat in boat pose and by using our feet and core muscles, we rolled the stick backwards and forwards. 

First we rolled the stick with hands on our knees, then behind our back and lastly with our hands on our head.  

Even with all the learning, we practiced our concert songs and dance moves for our upcoming performance. It’s so impressive how well the Pups can move their little bodies! We ended the week with some fun activities, which I shared in a video on the class group. This was truly the best way to wrap up our week! 

I hope you enjoy reading the Pups’ reports. I am incredibly proud of how they have developed into wonderful little individuals since I first met them at the beginning of the year! I’m so excited to see what the rest of the year has in store for us as a class. I love each and every one of you! 

I hope everyone has an amazing mid-term holiday!  

Have a wonderful Mid-Term break!

Christmas!

Christmas!

Well, we’ve jingled, we’ve danced, and thanks to the never-ending rain, we’ve done more indoor wiggle-wiggle dance parties than we ever thought possible! This week the Playful Pups have been fully immersed in the magic of Christmas. Between singing Jingle Bells at top volume (sometimes on repeat… many, many times), and creating a collection of festive masterpieces, the classroom has looked like Santa’s workshop met a glitter tornado.

Travel and Holidays

This week, our Playful Pups packed their imaginations, fastened their (pretend) seatbelts, and set off on a fabulous world tour—no passports, luggage, or airport queues required! Our theme was Travel and Holidays, and the children were absolutely buzzing with excitement as we chatted about holidays and all the different ways one can travel.
