"What happens in Kindergarten lasts a lifetime." --Unknown
Kindergarten is a time to grow socially, emotionally, academically though a play-based approach. In our classroom, establish routines and work together to learn about the 4 C's of 21st century learners: co-operation, communication, creativity and critical thinking. In Kindergarten, we build the foundation for our first year of school. We learn from each other as we inquire about the world around us.
Our literacy goals are to explore letters through our names and environmental print. We are learning about how letters make words and we are beginning to hear the sounds that letters make. We are building oral language through read alouds, sharing circles, and lots of pretend and dramatic play.
Our numeracy goals are to learn about numbers 1 to 10, and how to represent those numbers using items and pictures. We are learning about patterns and shapes. Each week, we have the opportunity to bring in items for Show and Share that are colours and shapes. We continue to explore the world around us through community and outdoor activities, and of course, continue to watch our school tree and how it changes through each season!
After all, Kindergarten is a time for learning and a time for joy!
