Welcome Back to Good Morning

The 3 year olds were happy to be back at Good Morning and the new 3's had an amazing morning with only a few tears. We had some fun with trucks, paint, songs and poems at cirlce time and lots of speed on the plasma cars in the gross motor room.
New friends having fun at the sand table pouring, filling and measuring. There is so much to discover and experience when playing....little do they know they are learning at the same time.
The 2 year olds had a quiet start and they all settled into the classroom and explored the different areas of the room. I'm sure they will have fun once they have cirlcle time, snack and playtime in the Gross Motor room.

The kindergarten program started off with learning one of the elements of art. Line was our first topic of discussion and we talked about horizontal, vertical and diagonal lines. The children were then to paint different horizontal lines which included zig-zag, wavy, bumpy, broken and curly lines.


Once they had completed their lines in black paint they were given bright colours to paint inside the lines. The contrast of black and the warm colours made for a wonderful introduction to the Element of Line.

If our first few days at Good Morning are any indication of how the year is going to go, I am pleased to say we are going to have an amazing year.
Thanks to all who had warm wishes for me in my new position as Director, it really means alot to me to have the support of our community in this new chapter in my career here at Good Morning. We have a great team of teachers here and our new teacher, Caitlin is wonderful. Your children are truly blessed to have all that the teachers have to offer in our many programs from the preschoolers all the way up to the school-aged children.
Happy Fall everyone....it really is "the most wonderful time of the year" as the song goes!
Thanks for checking in,
Karen
