Chickadees, Sept 16

We love having a blog, where we can share all the amazing stories about your children and their class. With the increase in classes, we are finding the blog is taking time away from planning and preparing for the classes themselves. We value the communication with you the families, and will continue to write a weekly blog, but are trying this new format this week. We will post the pictures from the class, then simplify the stories into 'theme', 'skills embraced', 'connection question for you and your child'. We would love your feedback - enjoy!

Themes: leaves, tool use, sitting together, getting to know you games, exploring loose parts

Skills: working co-operatively, using a hammer or saw, scissor skills, taking care of our backpack and personal items, sharing our tools, reflecting on feelings

Connection Question: What tool did you use in the tool circle, and what did you do with it?
