Responisbility

Ms.Lyss made us a sensory bin of red and green rice with a hint of mint scent.
As one child played with it, lots of rice escaped the bin and landed on the floor.
I encouraged the child to get one of our little brooms to sweep up his mess.
 
As he began to sweep, another child noticed him and went to get another mini broom.
"I help. I sweep too" he stated.

Although they did not actually clean up the whole mess,
they showed wonderful team work and responsibility.
Thanks boys!

Get to jail!

Lately some of our older children have been talking about putting each other in jail, and their teachers too. (in good humour)
 
We play this game in the gym, large muscle room, and outside usually as a chase and catch game
but one day some of them created a very intricate jail out of dominoes within our room.
 "Mrs.Thiele get in!"
 At times building this was very frustrating as dominoes can be tricky to stand and even worse when you have many children moving through the room. It took a lot of concentration, team work, and the ability to share ideas to get this jail completed.

Christmas Potluck

This week we all got together and celebrated the birth of our saviour, Jesus Christ with a Christmas Potluck.
We had 60 people come out to our potluck!
 
Mr.Blatz was able to join us too, he cooked chicken on the BBQ for us in the snow.

Lots of delicious food.

 The children practiced really hard, and learnt two new songs to sing in front of their parents.
"Wayyyyy down in Bethlehem."
"This little light of mine"
 
 We had special guests from West End Christian Community.
Joel and Danielle led us in Worship.
And Pastor Rob gave a message helping us to reflect on what Christmas is truly about.
 
All in all it was a fabulous night.
Thanks to everyone who came, helped out and made our evening such a great success.
Merry Christmas everyone!
