Mondrian Masterpieces ... made together with our Grandfriends!

 During our second visit with our Grandfriends we spent time together creating Mondrian inspired masterpieces while we chatted and laughed together.  Our visits go by so quickly, and sometimes it is hard to tell who are the Kindy's and who are the 'antique boys and girls', one would never know that some of our special friends are in their late 80's, early 90's... with one of our special friends celebrating her 100th birthday in October!  We love chatting about our visit all the way back to school and often my little Kindy's remark that they wish that we could go and visit our Grandfriends more often.  This first masterpiece will be one of many on display at our Art Exhibition in the Spring of 2013.  

Hoedown 2012

Our very own scarecrow...             Miss Lyn-Nell!   Always adding laughter and smiles to our days! 

 For the first year of a long standing tradition at our school, the Kindy's were able to learn some new songs and participate as the youngest participants at the Hoedown this year.  They enjoyed learning the fun songs, the actions and playing their kazoos! One of their favourite parts of the event was having so many family members watching them perform! Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedules to join us for the Hoedown!  Tuck the kazoos and bandanas away somewhere safe for the Hoedown next year!

Once the Hoedown was over we were all very happy and very tired little cowboys and cowgirls!

A visit with our Grandfriends!

October 2nd was our very first visit to meet our Grandfriends! We spent time visiting and colouring with our new friends.  While I watched my kindy's during their first visit with these antique boys and girls it was as if they had been friends for a very long time! Our intergenerational visits will occur twice a month where we will spend time working on a variety of art projects to display at a spring art exhibition.  Many of our parents were able to assist with our visit and are thrilled to be involved with this part of our kindergarten program! 

Open House Scavenger Hunt

Thank you for joining us for the Open House.  The little Kindy's certainly enjoyed touring you around their classroom as well as the rest of the school on a scavenger hunt!  Many expressed how happy they were to be able to show you their work, the various classrooms that they go to as well as introducing you to their class fish and for some their Grade 6 buddy!  For others, their favourite part was the last item on the list... thank you for joining them for a 'photo shoot' in with our special gold frame!  It certainly gave them a lot to draw about in their books the next day!
