Today is Earth Day and the children are very excited to celebrate. They have been learning about how they can help our planet by Reducing, Reusing and Recycling. We are having a litterless lunch today and will be cleaning up our playground. The children are keen to learn about the environment and want to do their part. A good website to visit is www.ecokids.ca It has a lot of good information and talks about what others students are doing in Canada. There are aslo some free videos on www.brainpopjr.com that talk about the Earth. Check them out!   Happy Spring!   Spring is a great time to explore our 5 Senses. There are so many changes to see, smell, feel and hear. We explored our sense of taste yesterday with a yummy taste test. We tested our taste buds with sweet, sour and salty foods and had fun! We will be finishing this unit soon. We have finished with all Zoophonics animals and sounds and are now combining sounds to read and spell words. We are also working on the "th", "sh" and "ch" sounds.    

Happy St. Patrick's Day to you all! May the luck of the Irish be with you. :) We made leprechaun traps today and are hoping we will catch one. We have been having fun learning about rainbows, sining leprechaun songs and listening to stories about St. Patrick's Day. We are presently working on the letter y and enjoyed meeting Yancy yak. We look forward to learning more about Yaks.                            Take Care.

        Wow! We have had a busy month! Groundhog's Day, Valentine's Day, Flag Day, 100th Day, the Spell-A-Thon Fundraiser and the Olympics all made for a very exciting month indeed. The children have learned many new things and have had a lot of fun. We've had celebrations for these special days, with our most recent being the 100th Day of school. I will be posting pictures as I get them on the computer.
