Lest We Forget
We remember. We remember to say thank-you to those, past and present, who helped to keep Canada safe and free.
Some things they remembered, by the end of the week, about Remembrance Day;
-Peace. We learned about Peacekeepers and their roles in times of peace and conflict.
-Soldiers and Veterans. They can be men or women, past or present. They help to keep our country safe, help other countries and the civilians who live there.
-Poppy. Poppies show that we remember and say thank-you. We learned some places where poppies grow and that they can even provide medicine.
-Thank-you and We Remember. It is important to take time to say thank-you to all the brave people who keep us safe and free, so they know they are not forgotten.
-The Unknown Soldier and The Canadian War Memorial in Ottawa. We watched the Remembrance Day ceremony in Ottawa),
-Bag Pipes and the Bugle. They are musical instruments that are used notably during Remembrance Day ceremonies.
We made foam poppies with glitter middles, used scissors to create the edges of the paper poppies, practiced using pincher fingers to rip construction paper for torn paper poppies, went on a hunt for little poppies and made a poppy wreath together.
The stories we read were;
Ava’s Poppy by Marcus Pfister
I Can See Peace by Amber Connor and Vernon Dew
The Peace Book by Todd Parr
Hero Mom by Melinda Hardin
The play foam clocks came out this week. With these foam clocks, the kids practiced fine motor skills, counting, number recognition, number sequencing, and even how to tell what hour it is.
Our letters this week were S and J. The kids made the letter S with little paper squares and used their workbooks to search the letter J.
By choice, the kids spent much of their outside time in the brush in the field. They are quite the little explorers. They also had a bunch of fun playing with Bella dog and the “stick” (more like branch) she found.
