Happy Monday! We hope everyone had a relaxing weekend. Mme B and her family went to the Carp Fair on Saturday and saw lots of St. Stephen friends there. Mrs. Shackleton had her birthday yesterday and celebrated with her family.
Today in our kinder class we made our own "rainbow tree" out of a large branch and multi coloured ribbons. This was an excellent fine motor activity for our friends. It was amazing to see some friends who could not tie at the beginning of the activity could tie near the end. So exciting!! Milayna summed up our feelings when she declared, "Jesus is going to love that tree!"
We are also working on our self portraits. This is a nice way to get to know our kindergarten friends and see how they look at themselves. We will be posting their pictures in our cubby when they are complete.
Drew and a group of girls created their own "bungalow" drums today out of found items in our room and had a blast creating their own rhythms and original songs.
