Caitie's Classroom

We are getting ready for our first day at school. School is an exciting place to be, with lots of new things to learn and discover.

We are having a dance party. We explore different kinds of dance, play with a dancing craft, pretend to be professional ballet dancers, and visit a modern dance class on a field trip.

We are exploring the magnificent night sky. The sky is filled with bright stars that make constellations, and the moon.

We are exploring spectacular snow. Whether it snows where you live or not, you can explore snow along with Caitie with these crafts, activities and more for learning and fun at home.

The classroom is an art studio and we are artists. We learn about different ways to make art and try to make some art of our own.

We are learning about and exploring with frogs. Frogs live in water and on land. They can hop and swim, and they love to eat bugs. Yum yum.

Stomp stomp stomp...roar. It's a dinosaur. Dinosaurs lived millions of years ago, but we can guess what they might have looked like by studying their fossils as paleontologists do. Join Caitie in the classroom as we explore dinosaur fossils, pretend to be a paleontologist, and see real dinosaur bones on a field trip to the Canadian Museum of Nature.

We are exploring one of Caitie's favorite foods - pizza. We turn the classroom into a pizza shop and are open for business. Help Caitie make and deliver pizzas in the classroom.

Whoosh. Wind is an amazing kind of weather and we have lots of things to explore. Join Caitie and friends in the classroom as we experiment with our incredible wind tunnel and what toys we can blow away using wind. The wind can be used for all kinds of things, like make strange shaped monsters with paint, and for making electricity on the wind farm we visit on our field trip.

We are exploring the magic and science of magnets. Magnets are such amazing tools and can be very interesting to play with, but we must make sure that all interaction with magnets is supervised by an adult as they can be safety hazards for very young children. With supervision, there are lots of amazing things we can do with magnets.

We are exploring butterflies. Butterflies are incredible creatures. In this episode we get to see them up close during a field trip to the Cambridge Butterfly Conservatory, we learn that butterfly wings are symmetrical and explore metamorphosis. We make our own butterfly crafts, and make butterfly hand puppets.

There are lots of creative and fun ways to practice counting and we explore a number of them in this installment of the show. You can use movement, art and role play all to practice counting.
