What a fun and colorful week we had at daycare! 🦕 The children enjoyed making dinosaurs. Coloring them and decorating with bright tissue paper. They were so creative and proud of their work! 🎨
For International Week, we were lucky to have families from India bring delicious sweet and savory snacks for everyone to try. 🍽️ They also shared beautiful traditional clothing, and the children had so much fun trying them on. 👗
We also learned about St. Patrick’s Day and Ireland through a fun puppet show by Brian. 🍀 The children even got to try an Irish dance, full of smiles and energy! 💃
It has been a joyful week of learning, sharing, and creativity!

It was a fun week at the Hawks! We have been discussing the different nationalities in our group and coloring the flags from each country for International Week. Last week, they learned some yard games and ate a snack from one of their teacher's home country - USA! They have also been working on their sock puppets; cutting out ears, horns, wings...that later on they'll glue onto their old socks. On their second basketball session, they learned how to dribble while moving around and how to pass the ball by bouncing it.

Our preschoolers started the week with a storytelling session about recycling at Sello Library 📚♻️. To continue exploring the topic, we also visited the recycling center where we saw many items people can donate for others to reuse.
During the week we learned the letter S, explored symmetry, and practiced the numbers 6, 7, and 8.
We also kicked off our International Weeks, with teachers sharing their cultures and regions 🇮🇳🇲🇹🇮🇨
