Busy, busy, busy!

Our classroom has been so busy lately!  

Although we're full of energy and trying to spend as much time in the autumn sunshine as possible, when we have inside work time

 the children are happy to choose materials from off the shelf and are amazing us with their long attention spans.  We've also had several fun enrichment activities including: gymnastics with Jeff, yoga with Becky (pictured in this group of photos), and Spanish with Rayma and Pablo.  You'll find a slideshow at the bottom of this run of photos that includes several more in-class photos and all the pictures from the firefighters visit.

Enjoy and Happy Halloween!

Hello Everyone!

As you can see we've been very busy, both in the classroom and outside.  Our trip to the fish hatchery was so great and we have plenty of fun shots feeding the fish and observing the beaver.  Then to top the week off we went to the soccer field (ice rink) for some ball kicking, which was a blast!  In the classroom we've had some really amazing days of contented learners trying everything from off the shelves.  Our classroom just seems to hum with activity.
This last week we enjoyed having Jeff come to the school to practice gymnastics with us. Unfortunately I haven't quite got the hang of putting a slideshow on the blog so I'm hoping to get some help and have it up there by next week.  Then you'll see all the fun photos of your children attempting mule kicks and skipping across the yard. We hope you enjoy this new crop of photos!
