February 2013

What a fun and busy month we had!!! Hard to believe how fast February flew by!

We celebrated Valentine's Day - the kids were dressed from head to toe in red and pink! Everyone seemed to have a great time with all of the games, activities, crafts and passing out of the valentines for our friends....but I think everyone's favourite was the rose petals on the parachute :)

Here's Trewin during one of our valentine games

When we are working on a letter of the alphabet, we divide into 3 groups and rotate between different stations. Each activity gives the kids a chance to explore a different area that's important

Here we are working on counting and our fine motor skills to link the links together

We've been "travelling" around the world with our passports the last few months! We learn about the different languages, cultures, activities, and food.

Here we are taking off on our long plane ride to China to celebrate their Chinese New Year

One of the things that we learned about the Chinese New Year is that children get red enveloppes with shiny new pennies in them as gifts that are to bring them good luck throughout the year. We didn't have any shiny new pennies, but we did a science experiment to find out what makes dirty pennnies shiny - vinegar and salt worked!!
