Greetings Turtle Families!

This week we updated our forest classroom with two fun additions! Thanks to our wonderful parent community and Ki Derek we now have a slide! Lots of fun was had climbing up and sliding down over and over again throughout the week. :) Additionally, one of the Turtles had an inspiring idea to create a “Quiet Corner” in the forest. We rolled a tire to a nook between some trees and tied a piece of fabric overtop as a canopy. An outdoor mat completed the space (see pictures below!). We decided that it would be a place to quietly play or look at books. Students spent time building a fairy village there, playing with peg dolls, and listening to story books.

Rock painting kits were sent home on Friday to those who were in school and the remaining kits will go home on Monday. If you could complete the rocks and return them to school by Friday, that would be wonderful! Feel free to work with your child to create your own artistic style for detailing the bumble bee or ladybug. Thank you so much for your participation in our class auction project. It is such an amazing and fun event for our community!

Reminders:

Please ensure that your child has a complete change of clothes, including socks and shoes, as our forest area is very muddy. Also, as the weather warms, we will engage in more water play so extra clothes or rain gear is advisable!
We are so excited to host Grandfriends Tea this Friday - see you there :)

Kindly,

Ki Amy
