Kinder Room

Jodi —Early Childhood Program Coordinator Sarah—Early Childhood Program Assistant

January was once again another busy month in the kinder room, the children’s interest seems to have shifted to exploring and collecting different materials. We have spent most of the month, sorting fruit, food, cars, blocks, etc by colour, shape and size. Using tweezers in the water table, to making bead bracelets in the sensory bin, they are always busy with their hands in the kinder room. We also started a new ongoing project called beautiful stuff. Each child got to take a bag home and fill it with beautiful stuff from home that some might think is junk but others might think is amazing for art, etc. After everyone brought their bags back, we sat down as a group and shared our bags. We then sorted the items out together and made a beautiful stuff shelf. With the beautiful stuff, we decided that we would make self portraits using the recycled materials. The children in our room showed such creativity with the materials. It is amazing to share how beautiful, objects can be even tho they are just recycled materials. Games have still been a huge interest and January was “bring your own board game” month. It was a bug success and everyday, children were excited to try out the new game coming in. There was a request to now have a show and tell month, so for the month of February, the Kinder Room will begin having show and tell days, where someone can bring in a special item to show and tell at circle time. January was a very cold month, so we hope to spend more time outside this month and plan more outdoor activities. Reminders: Skating Day- Thursday Feb 6th Jersey Day- Friday Feb 7th

Happy Birthday!!! Adithya (February 5th), And Sarah (February 18)
