It has been a very different February but we have done our best to keep our routines going. Even though we have been away from school for a few days we have still kept very busy!
Happy Birthday Hand Washing!
We all practised washing our hands together. We used really foamy soap and has to rub it all over our hands - even in between our fingers! We learned that you have to wash your hands for a long time, so we sang Happy Birthday as we washed our hands to help clean them for just the right amount of time!
Chicka Chicka Alphabet
We are nearing the end of our Letter Exchange and are only waiting on 4 more letters!
This month we got the letters R, A, and F. We really liked the letter R because the words were written in English and French!
Pink Shirt Day
On February 26th we celebrated Pink Shirt Day! We each painted our own shirt and made our own pink paint by mixing white and red together. We all wrote messages about how to be a good friend and how to show kindness.
We also each made a promise to be kind and to be a good friend and linked them together in a chain.
We took our Chickadees to the school's special Pink Shirt Day banner and they each got to write their name onto the banner. We all did this last year when we were Chickadees. It was to looking for our names on the banner!
Outdoor Learning
It has been a lovely month out in nature! We took time to sled, make snowballs, and search for animal tracks. February was also Carnaval at Black Walnut and we got to do special activities.
We enjoyed making 'Bonhomme de Neige' (Snowmen) since it was perfect packing snow.
We put dried up markers in water to make our own snow paint and we sprayed it on the snow and made rainbow designs!
We worked together on team skis and tried to move - it was very slow since we all needed to step at the same time!
We visited different outdoor centres to do some snow yoga. It was very quiet and we felt calm and relaxed.
We have been working hard this winter making number books. We practise printing the number and then make a picture. This month we added the numbers 5, 6, and 7. We are hoping to get to the number 10 before March Break!
Our Spider Plants
Our spider plants finally had enough roots and we planted them in pots. We added dirt and watered them and we hope they will grow big and strong!
Castle Updates
We have made flags, towers, and rooms for our castles.
We also made a carriage out of a wagon by building walls and decorating them! Some friends also made horses to pull our carriage.
We have listened to a number of favourite princess stories and have learned about some new princess stories too!
