Spruce Tips

A huge thank you to Mr. Trevor and the Turner Valley Fire Department for teaching the children about fire safety today. The children (and parents;) had so much fun! We are very grateful for all that you do.

It started with C, age 3. He came to preschool to teach us a new word “alchemist” with his gloves and eye wear...
We then went next door to borrow an ingredient from our best neighbour “Miss Bonnie” (vinegar)...
Then, oh then, we found a”print” in the snow. It MUST be a green dinosaur! “We have to build a trap and make a potion to turn the this green dinosaur blue...”..
Emergent curriculum, P L A Y, child lead and so so much fun. Thank you C for guiding our curriculum today. Even though my intention went out the door, your version was so enlightening.

Our Monday class has displayed an interest in “building” for quit some time. ...
They have built pipe systems, water harvest systems, traps etc...
We are very grateful for our neighbour Chelsea from not only for opening up her workshop and teaching us the safety and tools that happen with our scrap wood materials but for these little pieces that we will be RECREATED...
The children have already started designing a bridge, plane, dinosaur and bus. ✨We are very excited for this project to unfold✨

Hiding under the “snow blanket” and exploring on our field trip today at the Ann & Sandy Cross Conservation Area...
In 1987, Sandy and his wife Ann donated nearly 2,000 acres of their land to the Province of Alberta! We are very grateful for this space and all those that work to conserve and share it.
