"Ever child is gifted, they just unwrap their packages at different times. "

We have officially entered the season of Winter and with that brings lots of magical changes. We have seen so much progress in our children in just a few short months and that in itself is magical.

We are all set to open up our Movie Theatre, after two weeks of preparation. The children are so excited and we cannot wait to see what unfolds there.

The girls worked very hard on creating screens with characters on them for our theatre:

Others made us puppets with characters on them:

Making cupcakes out of wood pieces and jewels:

"I made it with my own two hands" and "alligator stomp" seemed to be our favourites by him!

 Being silly on the bus ride home!

Have a beautiful weekend and keep warm!!

Movie Theatre Madness

This past week we discussed several ideas for our dramatic play centre. After many different options were bounced around, we agreed upon a Movie Theatre. We made a list of all the things we would need, things like popcorn, snacks, drinks, tickets, movie posters, seats, stairs, a screen and sound. We choose 4 movies that we wanted to show at our movie theatre and got to work. We called this time period the "construction" of the theatre. These are some pictures captured during that time:
