WE HOPE TO SEE YOU ALL THERE 😊

It is with great sadness that we have to announce that our beloved guinea pig Charlie has passed away. Charlie came to us as just a baby and became an instant part of our classroom. He helped many children feel comfortable coming to school. Children had the chance to feed him, pet him and often built houses and mazes for Charlie to test out. Charlie lived quite long for a guinea pig as he was nearing his 7th birthday. Children were able to discuss Charlie's passing in class and ask any questions they had.
Charlie will be missed 💕
And as some of the children decided, he's happy playing in the clouds with all the other guinea pigs. 🥰

Tomorrow is Remembrance Day — a day for us to pause, reflect, and honour the bravery and sacrifices of those who served and continue to serve. 🌺
Even our youngest learners can take part in gentle, meaningful ways — through stories, art, and quiet moments of thankfulness.

Here are some family-friendly ways to mark the day in Edmonton:

🌺 Take in one of the Remembrance Day ceremonies around the city
🕊 Visit the Alberta Legislature Grounds to see the memorials and place a poppy
📚 Read Together: A Poppy Is To Remember, The Peace Book, or Lest We Forget (simple language and visuals)
🎨 Create Paper Poppies and talk about kindness, peace, and caring for others
🚶‍♀️ Take a Peace Walk — even a short walk, noticing quiet and stillness together

This is a day for slowing down. For noticing. For remembering. For holding gratitude close. ❤️

Please note: There are no playschool classes tomorrow in observance of Remembrance Day. We will see our little learners back on Wednesday.

📚 READ-A-THON TIME! 📚
This month, we’re kicking off our Read-A-Thon fundraiser at In The Neighborhood Playschool! Our goal is to support future field trips while encouraging the love of literacy. ✨Because we truly believe… Readers are leaders! 🌟

Swipe to see some of our super readers enjoying books in all kinds of fun and cozy places! 🧸📖💛

We would love to feature more of our playschool families — if you have photos of your little reader, feel free to share them with us at: [email protected]

Let’s keep turning pages + making memories! 🤍
