This morning we explored music and feelings 🎶💛

We listened to two very different kinds of music and created art while we listened. First, we played calm, relaxing piano music and drew pictures. Then we switched to loud, busy music and drew again. Afterward, we compared our artwork and talked about how each kind of music made us feel.

The children shared some amazing reflections:
• “The loud music made me want to dance.”
• “The quiet music made me feel happy.”
• “Loud music made me want to jump.”
• “Quiet music made me feel sleepy.”

When we looked at our pictures, we noticed big changes—calm music often led to softer lines and slower drawing, while loud music inspired bold marks, fast movements, and lots of energy.

This activity sparked great conversations about emotions, body awareness, and self-expression, while showing how music can change the way we feel and create. 🎨🎵

Feelings in Action this morning! đź’›

This morning we played a fun game to help us explore and understand feelings. We sat in a circle and passed around our bag of feelings while music played. When the music stopped, the person holding the bag pulled out a picture, named the feeling it showed, and then we all tried to make that same feeling with our faces and bodies.

We also had lots of laughs drawing each other’s emotions using clear lids and dry-erase markers—such a fun and engaging way to show feelings!

With Valentine’s Day coming up, we’ve started our Feelings & Emotions theme 💕

Yesterday we talked about all the different emotions and feelings we experience. Today, we read Little Faces, Big Feelings and spent time looking closely at the pictures, guessing how each character was feeling by their facial expressions.

We sang some favourite songs about emotions like “If You’re Happy and You Know It” and “If You Chance to Meet a Frown,” using our bodies and voices to match the feelings.

To wrap it all up, we made paper plate happy and sad faces, giving the children a hands-on way to connect emotions, expressions, and creativity.

Why this matters for young children:
Learning about feelings helps children build emotional awareness, develop empathy, and begin to understand their own reactions and the emotions of others. When children can recognize and name feelings, they are better able to communicate, manage big emotions, and build positive relationships with peers and adults.

To finish up Robot Week, we wrapped things up with a fun loose parts art activity.

On Friday, the children used foam shapes and glue to design and create their very own robots. Creativity was flowing as they planned, problem-solved, and brought their robot ideas to life!

This activity supported:
• creativity and imagination
• fine motor skills
• problem-solving and spatial awareness
• language as children described their robots

What a perfect way to end an amazing week of robot fun!

Continuing with the robot fun from last week, we became robots for a day! 🤖

We started by making robot vests using paper bags (a huge thank you to our Borden Co-op) and lots of recycled parts.

We had so much fun picking which “buttons” to use—how many, where to place them, and what each button would do.
Some buttons turned the robot on, some made them dance, stretch, or jump.

Once the vest was on, we pressed the power-up button, activated the dance button, and had an awesome robot dance party!

First of all, our community really came together and helped us out so much by donating the BEST recycled materials — thank you! ♻️

The kids had an absolute blast creating robots today with all the awesome parts. Their imaginations were running wild as they designed so many unique robots, each one different and special.

Through this open-ended play, the children were building creativity, problem-solving, fine motor skills, collaboration, planning, and confidence, all while exploring sustainability and re-use in a fun, hands-on way. Learning through play at its best! 🤖

Ice fishing bingo today! 🎣
Learning through play with a fishing pole and string while practicing letter recognition, turn-taking, and fine motor skills. Such a fun, hands-on way to learn!

❄️ Snowflake fun in the classroom! ❄️

We got creative with pasta today and made beautiful snowflakes after reading Little Snowflake. The kids loved designing their own patterns and talking about how every snowflake is different—just like them!

Later today, we’re adding glitter (because who doesn’t love glitter!) to make our snowflakes sparkle even more. Stay tuned for the shiny final look!
