Dear Families,

Happy Mother’s Day (on Sunday)!  The bond between a mother and her child is truly one of a kind!  I admire, respect, and am inspired by all the mothers out there who consistently demonstrate and share their strength, dedication, and unconditional love for her children.  I have been blessed to have a Mother who has been the ultimate role model and who has been there for me always.  Thank you Ma for all that you do, ALL THAT YOU ARE!  You are amazing!!!  

For Mother’s Day, I will take my Ma to Barrie to visit Chapters, she loves to read!  After that, we will go for a walk by the Beach in Wasaga.  I hope we can take off our shoes as it feels wonderful to have the sand between our toes.  These experiences will not only be refreshing, but one that I will cherish as I have the opportunity to spend quality time in my Mother's beautiful energy!  I hope you enjoy this weekend too with your child spending time in the warmth and sunshine creating beautiful memories!  

I love you, Ma!!

Tiffin Centre:

On Tuesday, we went to Tiffin to learn about classifying animals, preparing for nature, and shelter building! It was a very engaging, exciting, and excellent experience for ALL. The weather cooperated with sunshine and blue skies too which added to the beauty.  

Please, take a moment to admire your wonderous child exploring, inquiring, and learning from the BEST CLASSROOM ON EARTH ...MOTHER NATURE :)

Mrs. Fic & Mrs. McGrath:

Thank you to our two amazing parent volunteers who accompanied us on this field trip.  Your time, energy, compassion, and support is appreciated and cherished.  It meant a lot to us to have you there and I can say with confidence that it wouldn’t have been the same experience without you both!  You graciously guided my learners through their scavenger hunts, building, and classifying animals’ rotations.  Thank you also for taking pictures and sharing them with me to post on the blog.  We HONOUR YOU!!
