Message From Our Teachers<\/h2>\n

The month of April brought lots of rain showers and a little sun, but at preschool that did not stop us from having an awesome month.<\/p>\n

Of course the well-attended Preschool Art Show at the Gallery in Queen’s Park was the highlight! The children all participated in making individual and group art. They were so proud to share their work with their families and friends. At the opening night we enjoyed welcoming alumni siblings, parents, grandparents and other significant people in our preschoolers’ lives. The feeling of community as everyone enjoyed an evening of good weather together, was priceless.<\/p>\n

Easter meant our forest yard Easter egg hunt, Easter art, and playing with eggs in the water table!<\/p>\n

The fairytale dress-up days were enjoyed by many children. We enjoyed playing with princesses, dragons, fairies, kings, woodland creatures and more. Acting out roleplays involving these characters were also so exciting! We read many classic stories like George and the Dragon<\/em>, The Three Bears<\/em>, and The Paper Bag Princess<\/em>.<\/p>\n

We enjoyed many art projects this month including watercolour mixing, easel painting, Easter egg paper decorating, collages, magic wand creating, and chalk pastel drawings inspired by our last art gallery visit. The children also used white boards to draw or practice letters and name writing.<\/p>\n

Outside, the forest yard is still the best place for imaginative play and nothing can beat sand and water! We also loved making a track for balls with our gutters and other loose parts.<\/p>\n

The police visit in the 3s will be remembered by all the children. We could sit in the police car and see a real police officer uniform close up! What an amazing way to learn and get exposure to new experiences.<\/p>\n

We ended the month by welcoming a new classroom pet into our preschool family. Welcome S’more! She is a young guinea pig that was rehomed and we are so happy to have her!<\/p>\n

We look forward to ‘Stream of Dreams’ that will visit the preschool in May. (https:\/\/www.streamofdreams.org<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\t\t
