There are many good reasons to be physically and mentally active. Learning and movement combined is a powerful way to improve our health. We can exercise with our family at this time of transition from isolation to exposure. Exercise is a lifelong "essential vitamin",starting at birth when babies are madly kicking their legs, to six year olds learning about coding and later in life learning something new. Did you know that EXERCISE changes the brain in ways that protects memory and thinking and helps us maintain our physical and mental health. Learn something new today with your child. Share something new you learn't today with us.

Yesterday in Winnipeg, was definitely a weather charting day. A perfect day to develop more vocabulary. It was a day for many verbs to be learned and senses to be heightened. The toddler who turns 1 can watch the windmill blow in the garden and hear the word blow. The two year old could hear and see the word windy. The three year old could hear the swoosh and see the words spin and fly. The four-year old could hear the wind and learn the words creak, rattle, and whistle. The five year old could learn about the velocity of the wind and even experience it if they flew a kite or had a family walk. Perhaps talking about how do birds and butterflies fly in the wind?
Enjoy teaching your child new vocabulary through experience. Do share your ideas with us on our page about your shared learning experiences with your children.

The neighbourhood walk this morning was very interesting. Signs of spring were evident as children were on their bicycles and families were doing the yard work . A parent was decorating the house for her 3 year olds birthday. A garden featured last week has grown even more. With all the online orders arriving save a box, make a cardboard house and paint it. A neighbour hung up all her art students work with a mirror in the middle on her fence. Children and adults have a lot to talk about together. Here are some shares that you can try.
