Missoula's, Gulliver's Travels, was a wonderful experience for this very dramatic and musical crew. They are still singing the songs they learned.

This mask inspired a wonderful craft with lots of glitter!



 Patterns are an essential part of the math curriculum. Below are examples of repeating patterns the students are able to create. We are working at 2 and 3 piece cores.



This pattern picture is so clearly  cooperative problem solving. The boys noticed a mistake as it was read and they discussed how to solve it.

Mrs. Drake took the class on a Ramble, they practiced recognizing street signs, safe walking habits and met several of the community workers.  




"The freezer at the co-op is big and really cold!"




The great big hole was very exciting and we wondered if the Ninja Turtles could live down there.

 Prek has been very busy. The children are learning many routines.
1. Sitting together for stories and instructions
2. lining up and walking in a line
3. Serving themselves snack, sitting and visiting then tucking in their chairs before returning their dirty dishes.

All these activities require listening skills, self monitoring and patience and the students are doing great!
 Playdough offers lots of fine motor and creativity.

 Puzzles help develop fine motor and math skills.
 Dramatic play develops creative, social and language skills.
 The linking blocks had students counting and comparing numbers as well as comparing lengths. there is so much language that goes with those activities.










Helping with snack develops helpful attitudes, self help skills and motor coordination.

 These penguins let students create colour groups and patterns. Then they discussed the difference between the two. They also got to read the colours on their ice bars.



Quiet time together develops friendships.

While fishing for magnetic letters students learn turn taking, letters, sounds and colours.

Individual choice is valued and encouraged, just like making small messes in the name of learning.

Happy Thanksgiving Day Everyone!
