We have some fun stuff planned this week, including an eggsperiment, some Easter-themed letter and math games and today we started it all off with dyeing eggs. Each student got to colour and dye two eggs and bring them home. We got through it with very few cracks, and nobody was upset! Yay!
The eggs are hard-boiled, but students know that the eggs are not safe for eating, as they have been out of the fridge all day. They are purely decorative. Hope you love them!
Last Friday, for show and tell, Ella brought in her dad, who is a firefighter. He showed us all his equipment, and explained how he reacts if he is called to a fire. Each student had the opportunity to try on some equipment and was gifted a fireman hat! I decided to make it a fire safety afternoon, so we read a book about Curious George visiting the fire station, and we read a list of fire safety reminders. I gave each student a colouring book with some fire safety tips, as well as a special paper that you can use at home to make a map of your house, with your exits and meeting place marked. I also had just enough firetruck tattoos left for everyone. So many gifts!! Please take this as an opportunity to check your home fire alarms and discuss your safety plan with your child.
A reminder that there is no school this Friday or next Monday. Enjoy your long weekend!
Talk to you soon.
