Hello! My name is Teacher Lara.

I’m so excited to be your child’s teacher this school year in the Lemon Yellow Class 🍋

To share a bit about myself— while I enjoy many things, two of my greatest passions are reading and singing. I love getting lost in books and exploring songs from all kinds of genres, each offering new worlds, perspectives, and stories. I truly believe that sharing these passions can be a meaningful way to connect with young minds and spark a love for learning.

As a teacher, I’m dedicated to creating a joyful, safe, and engaging classroom where children can freely explore, grow, and build lasting memories. Being around children brings me so much joy, and I’m genuinely excited for the year ahead.

Here’s to a school year filled with laughter, discovery, and lots of fun! 🥳

Hello! My name’s Ayn, but you can call me Teacher AJ!

I’m so excited to spend this schoolyear with your child, getting to know them, and watching them grow!

To share a bit about myself, I’m a graduate in the course of Early Childhood Education from Assumption College and in this line of work, it makes me so happy to see the different ways that children can grow whether it be in terms of their learning journey or with their flourishing personalities. It’s so amazing to see! ✨

Aside from having a passion for teaching young minds, other interests that I have are music, dance, and games! With these interests, I love using them as ways to build learning experiences that are not only memorable, but also impactful and fun! 😎

I look forward to getting to know your children and again, I’m so excited to be part of their early learning journey! 💕

I got to play with colored rice today! It was all in a big bin along with scoopers of different shapes and containers of different sizes. There was a lot of scooping, pouring, and shaking, it was so fun to watch and listen to the rice as they fell! 😄

Shaking the rice in the containers sounded like maracas, and pouring the rice into the big bin sounded like rain~

We had animals in the classroom today, a chicken named Hei-Hei and a giraffe named Gerry! Hei-Hei and Gerry were very hungry so we fed them pompoms and little fruits and vegetables like apples, carrots, and corn! 🍏🥕🌽

We were able to see through their tummies and saw the food that we fed them! Feeding Hei-Hei was easy, but Gerry's mouth was a little small so I had to be strong to push the food through Gerry's mouth 🤭

# data[].attributes.body
My teachers prepared pictures and a special book to help us learn about the people we meet in class! It was interesting and fun to see everyone's pictures in our special class book! 🤭

We enjoyed our very first art activity of the school year! Using crayons in different colors, we had fun scribbling on our papers. It was exciting to see all the lines, curves, and shapes we could create as we freely moved our hands and arms. Each scribble turned into a beautiful piece of art, showing how creative we can be!

We had a splash-tastic time in the Yellow Room today! 💛 Our sensory bin was filled with bubbly yellow water and all sorts of yellow treasures—eggs, Legos, tubes, animals, cups, spoons, and more! We loved feeling the water in our hands, scooping out the bubbles, and letting the water drip from the cups like gentle rain. While we played, we explored our sense of touch, practiced scooping and pouring, and had fun discovering all the shades of our favorite color—yellow! 🌟🫧

Today, we became routine experts! 📚✨ We learned all about what we do each day at school—from greeting our teachers and friends during arrival time, exploring fun toys and activities, singing and dancing in circle time, enjoying yummy snacks together, reading books in storytime, moving and playing during active play, taking calm breaths in mindfulness time, and ending our day with goodbye songs for everyone. While we practiced, we built listening skills, learned to follow a schedule, and discovered how each part of our day makes school fun and special! 🎶🍎📖💛

Today, we had a fluffy, squishy adventure with soft cloud dough! ☁️🍦 We scooped and shaped it into ice cream, filling up our cones with pretend sweet treats. The best part? Watching it turn solid when we squeezed it tight—it was like magic in our hands! While we played, we practiced our fine motor skills, creativity, and sensory exploration, all while pretending to be little ice cream makers! 🖐️✨

# data[].attributes.body
We felt so strong today as we twisted off bottle caps and opened them to pull out colorful scarves from different bottles and containers! 💪🧣 The scarves felt so smooth and silky in our hands, and we giggled as we used them as veils to surprise our teachers and classmates in a fun peek-a-boo game. While we played, we practiced our fine motor skills, sensory exploration, and social interaction—all while filling the room with laughter and surprises! 🎉🖐️😄

I got to mix and pour water of different colors! The was red, yellow, and blue colored water and I used droppers, basters, and scoopers to mix them up! 😎

Teacher also had plastic cups and I got to see the different colors make new ones! I learned that red and yellow make orange, yellow and blue make green, and that blue and red make purple. Who knew that there are so many colors to explore and make by mixing! 🎨🌈

We have new cleaning toys in the classroom so there was a game of using the broom to sweep pompoms into a box. There were so many colors of pompoms and every pompom that I swept into the box felt like scoring a goal! 📣

I had to be very careful of how I held the broom and control my strength so that I could score that point. If I swung only a little, the pompoms hardly moved! If I swung reaallly hard, then the pompoms would fly! It was a challenge but it was also so much fun! 😎

We had so much fun in our sensory garden today! 🥕🌽🍆 We pretended to harvest and plant tiny vegetables like carrots, garlic, eggplant, cucumber, corn, and chili in our pots. The colored rice felt prickly and slippery in our hands, and we loved listening to the gentle sounds it made as we scooped and poured it from one pot to another. While we played, we explored textures, practiced scooping and transferring, and used our imagination to grow our own little farm! 🌾

It was so much fun making our own egg shakers today! 🥚✨ We carefully opened each egg, which was a little tricky, filled them with shiny gems and marbles, and snapped them shut.

Highlight Buzz: Learning our Classroom Rules 

# data[].attributes.body
This week, we became little rule learners in our classroom! 🏫✨ We found out that our ears are for listening, our mouths are for talking softly indoors, our hands are for gentle touching and patting, and our feet are for walking safely. We also learned that “Stop” means we pause and think, and that hitting or pushing can hurt our friends. Instead, we practice sharing, taking turns, and making new friends by playing together. While learning these rules, we practiced respect, self-control, kindness, and teamwork—making our classroom a happy and safe place for everyone! 💛

We had a cool and colorful time painting on ice today! 🎨❄️ It was so much fun to touch and feel the icy surface and the cold water on our hands. With our brushes, we spread paint across the ice and watched in amazement as the colors melted, mixed, and dripped away. It was like watching art come alive before our eyes! While we explored, we practiced our creativity, fine motor skills, sensory exploration, and observed how ice and paint can change when they meet.

I made a shaker with an empty bottle and filled it with all sorts of things like rice, marbles and gems by scooping and pouring with my hands and spoons.

When I shake it fast, it sounds loud and when it shake it slow, it’s soft. I liked listening to the sounds and it felt like I was making music by myself!

I learned about colors by sorting! There was a bin filled with the different toys that I play with in the classroom and I sorted them into different colored plates to match them. It was like I was making my own rainbow!

I rescued animals that were trapped in popsicle sticks and rubber bands! I had to use my fingers to pull off the rubber bands carefully and try to solve how to get the animals free without snapping the rubber bands. It felt like I was helping the animals be free, and it made me feel like a hero!

# data[].attributes.body
I made my own sensory bottle! I filled it with water, glitter, and beads. When I shake it, everything swirls around inside and when Teacher put a flashlight under the bottle, it looked like magic, and when I watch it settle, it helps me feel calm and peaceful.

I like holding it and seeing the colors move and dance and the best part was that I got to take it home! 😄✨
