What happened to the spring? I'm sure you are all feeling the same as I am...the last few months have passed in the blink of an eye! Preschool has been lively and fun and messy this last month, so many things going on and so many things to think about. The children are as ever, delightful and full of ideas and observations; they are growing so quickly and changing just as rapidly. Just when you think you've figured it all out they are on to the next thing. It's a fact of life with young children...they keep us on our toes!

Hi there Lansdowne Families, Another great month has sped by and I’m amazed at how your children are growing and becoming so independent. Before we know it this school year will be over and your little ones will be moving on to new endeavors. With that in mind I am trying to prepare the fours class for Kindergarten. Having the fours class come in on their own (with drop off at the top of the steps) has been working great.

The past month has whizzed by; it’s hard to remember what we did way back in the beginning of March. What I can tell you is this: it’s been a great month filled with new interests and endeavors. The field trip to the Compost Education Centre was fabulous. The earth educator who facilitated our program was enthusiastic and geared the program specifically to the four year olds developmental levels. She used sock puppets, songs, repetition and clear, interesting information to help our class form an understanding of what Worm Composting is all about.

This month we have been busy with all matter of things. We are watching our amaryllis bulb grow and flourish. The children have been making predictions about when it will bloom, what colour and how tall it will be, what it will look like...it has been very exciting. Sealed with a kiss, we mailed valentines that we had made. We’ve also been sharing our favourite books at library time and having a lot of fun talking about what we love about each one. We also planned and opened the Land of Nowhere Land Restaurant.

Finally!! The end of January, spring is within sight. I read the other day that the most desolate day of the year is January 28th....something to do with extended period of low light and the crash after Christmas vacation. All I know is that I am always overjoyed to see the first day of February!
