Our Grateful Tree
Naming:
The children explored gratitude through our Thanksgiving sensory tray filled with colorful rice, pretend fruits, pumpkins, and fall leaves. Each fruit represented something special to be thankful for, such as family, friends, toys, our home, and a healthy body.
Noticing:
I noticed the children showing curiosity and playfulness as they scooped, poured, collected fruits, and explored the materials in their own ways. They were also participating as they shared their ideas about the things they were grateful for.
Nurturing:
By providing open-ended materials and encouraging meaningful conversations, we supported the children's creativity, decision-making, and understanding of gratitude while helping them appreciate the people and things around them.

Happy Thanksgiving

Today, we celebrated Thanksgiving with a special family-style lunch. The children had the opportunity to choose their food, serve themselves, and decide how much they wanted to eat. This encouraged independence, confidence, patience, and respect for others.
As we enjoyed our meal together, we also talked about the things we are grateful for, such as our families, friends, food, and the little things that make us happy. It was a wonderful way to practise gratitude and enjoy time together as our dayhome family.

Recognizing Emotions
We started by naming the emotions on the wall. The children were seeking as they noticed the different expressions and connected them to feelings they knew.
During the story, they were participating by sharing when they felt different emotions and showing playing and playfulness by copying the expressions with their faces.
They continued seeking and persisting as they created emotion faces with loose materials, then built spaces for them using matching magnetic tiles and pretend food. The responsive environment supported their choices and ideas while helping them learn to respect and care for everyone’s feelings.

Another day in the woods gave the children many opportunities to explore! I noticed the children showing the disposition of seeking as they followed their curiosity, stopped and looked closely at what was around them. They wondered about the “river tunnel,” noticed the changing colors of the leaves, and explored other signs of fall. I also noticed their persistence as they tested their strength, balance, and confidence while climbing the large rock. Their play and playfulness was visible as they used sticks and natural materials to create a nest and pretend campfire, sharing ideas and using their imagination together. I also noticed the disposition of caring when they held their hands while walking, showing connection and kindness.These moments showed how much learning can happen naturally outdoors.

The children were interested in exploring the balance scale and finding out which bucket was heavier or lighter. I noticed that they did not just fill the buckets they watched carefully, compared the two sides, and changed what they were doing based on what they saw.They used trial and error by adding more pasta, taking some out, and trying again. This showed their growing problem-solving skills and their ability to make simple predictions. They were also learning from each other as they watched their friends’ ideas and compared their results.

Orange Shirt Day
🧡
Through hands-on play, children explored identity, belonging, and diversity by making choices, expressing themselves, and engaging with materials in their own ways. Their curiosity, patience, and shared ideas reflected FLIGHT’s view of children as mighty learners and citizens. The experience supported Diversity and Social Responsibility by showing that everyone can participate and contribute differently while belonging to the group. It also honoured Every Child Matters by valuing each child’s unique identity, voice, culture, and way of participating.

The children enjoyed getting their bodies moving through different gross motor activities. They climbed, balanced, jumped, ran, and explored different ways to move. These experiences helped build their strength, coordination, balance, and confidence while giving them lots of opportunities to challenge themselves and have fun together.
