Night Tree Activity





In the spirit of giving, we will read Night Tree by Eve Bunting. It is about a family whose holiday tradition is to decorate an evergreen tree in the forest for the animals that live there. We would like to do the same and give to the animals that live near our school. We will be decorating our evergreen trees at the front of the school on Wednesday, December 19th or Thursday, December 20th. We will be making and then hanging decorations on the evergreen trees, singing some songs, and heading back in to school.
                                                                                                               
If you are able to donate an item below, please send in with your child on Wednesday or Thursday morning!

1.       popcorn

2.       stringable cereal (cheerios, etc.)

"Kind"ness in "Kind"ergarten

 Did you know that November is Random Acts of Kindness month? In "kind"ergarten we have been practising showing kindness to others and being a good friend. Look below to find out how!
 
 
 
Playing a "web" game... we shared all our ideas about how we can do kind
things for each other... and it all started with "One Smile"!
 
 

Playing games "together" with friends... we received a new classroom gift
called "Candyland"... we are learning to take turns and
have fun playing games with our friends.
 
 
Playing fun, familiar games like "ball" too!
 
 
Playing musical instruments "together" to make
a classroom band.
 

Playing "together" with friends to make beautiful music.
 
 

Exploring "together" with shaving cream and cornstarch
to create/mold structures!
  

Being a kind friend to the earth by recycling water bottles
into our "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom" letter bottles.
 

Being a kind friend to each other by teaching friends
how to make masks and crafts.
 

Most importantly, we are learning that
 "Whoever you are... Wherever you are"
in the world or at Tecumseh Vista...
 "Together... We are better!"
