What a week it has been! We have had to say a few goodbyes. It is hard to believe that these little ones are growing up!
Among the goodbyes and sad moments we have had some really exciting moments. We went to the movie theatre, some for the first time, and watched The Incredibles 2. We also had a great time adventuring out to some far away parks and had a couple picnics.
We celebrated Canada’s 151st birthday this week as well. We made Canada flags using our traced hands to make the maple leaf. We learned about Canadian money and the pictures on the face of the coins. Michael Mitchell’s song “Canada In My Pocket” was very helpful for this. We spent some time learning about the beaver; how it makes it’s home and how it’s body is adapted to do so. We made a paper bag beaver puppet, and used a ruler to make straight lines for the beaver’s tail. They are getting really good at using rulers!
Some others activities we did this past week included stringing beads onto fishing line to make necklaces, making Jello, and sharing the last of Elliot’s adventures together.
