Dancing Dinosaurs

Hello Pearson families - we hope you had a wonderful (if freezing cold) weekend!

In keeping with our current classroom theme - DINOSAURS! - our children will be reading 'Dinosaurumpus' in class this week. The dinosaurs dance, boom and shake through the swamp in this rhythmic tale.

You should have received your child's picture day photo proof by now - and hopefully, a smiling photo of your son or daughter. Please remember to return your orders to the classroom this week!

Thanks again for reading, and all the best for a great week.

How Do Dinosaurs Say Goodnight?

They give a big kiss, they turn out the light, they tuck in their tails, they say, 'goodnight'. 

This week's book reflects our current classroom theme at Pearson Community Co-op Nursery School - DINOSAURS! Does your child have a favourite dinosaur? Are there any tiny T-Rexes roaring through your home during playtime? Or does it just feel that way when you're cleaning up at the end of the day?

This is another great book selection that may be familiar to your children already - and if not, it will likely become a favourite. If it's a new favourite, be sure to check out the rest of the book series, which is equally charming. 

We had a great turn-out at the meeting and silent auction fundraiser last week - thanks so much to all who planned and attended this event, sold raffle tickets, and donated prizes. Your support means so much to the school, and directly benefits our children and the entire Pearson community. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU to everyone who was a part of this terrific evening!

All the best to everyone for another great week. 

And We All Go Traveling By...

This week at Pearson Community Co-op Nursery School we are reading 'We All Go Traveling By' by Sheena Roberts. Full of wordplay and familiar sound effects, our children will have lots of fun with this story, which has also been recorded as a Fred Penner song.

Rumble rumble...beep beep...chuff chuff!

A few quick reminders for this week: 

• It's picture day on Tuesday and Wednesday
• Raffle tickets and money are due back on Tuesday
• The MANDATORY parents meeting and silent auction is on Wednesday evening - check your email for details!

Thanks as always for reading, and have a wonderful week!

Puff Puff, Toot Toot, Off We Go!

Our book of the week selection may be familiar to some families, as it's a classic story and song. Do you know 'Down by the Station'? Our kids are sure to be singing the song by week's end - it may end up being your earworm this week as well!

...see the little pufferbellies, all in a row!

Halloween was great fun, and it was wonderful seeing so many kids in costume last week - we will be sure to post photos when we can.

This month, we'll be learning about transportation and then dinosaurs - two fun topics that come with plenty of great reads, songs, activities and crafts. Remember to keep checking your children's art shelves at pick-up! (Are your fridges covered yet?!)

Have a great week, everyone, and check back soon!

Photo Highlights

We have had some wonderful times here at Pearson Co-op Nursery School already this year, including a field trip and 'Special Guest Day' as well as Thanksgiving and Halloween celebrations. Below, we would like to share some images that were taken over the past 8 weeks. We hope you enjoy them!
