Dear Parents,
We are quickly approaching the end of the
year, and it shows how time has flown by! It seems like yesterday that we had
started our school year in September. At the same time we have seen so much
growth and exciting changes in all of our children.
LOOKING
BACK
The highlight was a visit from Nikolaus. He
was very impressed by how many songs and rhymes the students had learned. In
return, our preschoolers were very excited to get their boots filled with some
special treats. Thank you to all the parents and family members that had joined
us for this very special event! Thank You for all the treats and special baking
that you brought to share with us!
FUNDRAISER
Thank you to
the families that participated in the Tupperware Fundraiser or made a (tax
deductible) monetary donation. The total raised for our Non- Profit preschool
was $1,540! We are very grateful for your support. This will help us to
maintain a high quality Early Childhood Learning program for our students.
DECEMBER ACTIVITIES
We have only
two more weeks left before the Christmas break starts and have decided to wrap
up the year with some fun activities for our little ones.
HIBERNATION CELEBRATION DAY
Thu Dec13 / Fri Dec 14
As the
winter months get colder, some of us like to hibernate.
We have
talked about animals protecting themselves from the cold and how some of them
migrate to warmer places, while others stay and find shelter in places like
dens and caves.
We would
like to wrap up this topic with our annual
‘Hibernation Day’.
Children are
invited to wear their PJ’s to school.
You may notice many caves in our
classroom
where our ‘little bears’ can hibernate and play.
Some
students might even like to bring their favourite stuffy or teddy bear!
CARE PARTNER WINTER FUN
Tue Dec 18/Wed Dec 19
During our
last week before the Holidays, we will have a special winter fun day with our
care partners. The plan (weather permitting) is to go sledding and enjoying
some hot chocolate afterwards. Please find a note with more information in your
child’s mailbox.
