Taking a Trip on our Train…

We have been having a fantastic time in Room 3 and are so excited to once again be studying trains. Trains and three-year-olds go together like macaroni and cheese. This year’s class was so excited to take our traditional Gold Line trip. We would like to give a special thanks to all the parents who participated and made this trip possible. It’s full steam ahead and we can’t wait to see where trains will take us this next!

❤️Happy Valentine’s Day ❤️ from Room 3 ❤️

We have been having a fantastic time celebrating the month of love here in Room 3. On Valentine’s Day and the Wednesday after, we made scrumptious heart shaped French Toast with Strawberry Jam, Yum! We would like to give a special thank you to Amelie’s Mom and Dad for coming in to cook with us on Wednesday. In addition to our cooking project, we also decorated Valentine treat bags to collect our Valentine’s Day loot. Thank you to everyone who gave so generously, the kids loved all their special Valentines. We still have two weeks left in our month long celebration of love and we look forward to seeing what comes next.

Meerrrryyy Chrriiissttmmasss!!

Room 3 had a lot of fun over the last couple of days before the long break. In celebration of the holidays to come, we had the chance to dress up in our jammies, make some Christmas colored Rice Krispie treats and played with powdered snow! It was an incredibly fun and exciting week and we wish everybody a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. We look forward to seeing all of you in 2017 and until then, stay safe and stay warm! 

Parachute fun!

Last week, the friends in Room 3 were able to experience something a bit newer on the Big Field. Previously, they had fun playing with small parachute men, but now they got the chance to play with a gigantic parachute! We played a “Cat and Mouse” game and had fun running under the parachute. Look forward to seeing more fun games and activities in the near future! 

Pumpkin DROP! 

To celebrate how thankful we are for pumpkins, we decided to let them go with a bang. Well, it’s more of a thump, but the end result is the same: scattered pumpkin and seeds galore. Brave volunteers stepped onto the ladder and began dropping the pumpkins. Children from the entire school witnessed this spectacle and we all wished them goodbye… at least until next year. 

Delightful Pumpkin Delight

Room 3 had an amazing time this week celebrating the season of orange pumpkins and falling leaves. We were all able to make and taste a delectable creation that we call, “Pumpkin Delight.” With the help of the children, a sweet, soft and moist treat was baked in honor of Autumn and its signature fruit, pumpkins.

 Big Field, Loads of Fun.

This week, Room 3 had an amazing time going up to the main campus and playing on what we call the “Big Field.” The children get to do all sorts of things such as playing with balls, popping bubbles, chasing Mr. Timmy and playing a variety of games. The first game we started playing was Red light, Green light and it was a blast. The children made it more fun by striking poses when they had to stop. Please look forward to hearing about many more games in the future from both teachers and the children from Room 3.

Community Helpers of Room 3

First and foremost, a huge thanks to Nicole (Amara’s Mom) for providing us some fantastic costumes for our dramatic play area. The children are ecstatic at the sight of these costumes. We were provided with costumes that represent everyday members of  the community. Our new additions to the dramatic  play wardrobe consist of a Doctor, Veterinarian, Police Officer and Astronaut outfit. The children of Room 3 are enjoying themselves so much as they learn and assume the roles of community helpers. 

Water Play in the Autumn Heat! 

Room 3 had lots of fun splashing in water during this extremely hot week. From dumping water, to creating rivers and jumping in mud, the children in Room 3 could barely contain their excitement.Their desire to play in the water was not only fun, but also allowed for them to cool off.  We look forward to seeing Room 3 play with more fun water toys and doing different water based activities!
