Who we are - A yearlong unit We have read the book 'It's Okay to Be Different' by Todd Parr. Children learned that we are all different and unique. It's okay to have different facial features as well as colours, and sizes. Then they were able to do their own self portraits using black markers and skin coloured pencils. Students were able to choose a colour that matches their skin. The process of self-portraits
We continued making and painting our birthday balloon charts, exploring our own names and created 'Who am I' posters. These activities are all part of our 'Who we are' unit of inquiry. Check out our bulletins boards. Developing Class Essential Agreements Setting the tone of the class in the first few weeks of the school year is very essential. The children are learning new routines and understanding the class expectations. We brainstormed many ideas on how we feel safe, happy, and how to take care of each other. Most children in the class are familiar already with classroom essential agreements while others have just been introduced to it. We need to make sure that we all understand and we need to remind ourselves. Having essential agreements in the class will help the children develop a sense of responsibility and understand how to be able to work cooperatively with others. All the children took part in this process. Here's our Essential Agreements *We walk in the class and we keep our feet to ourselves. *We use soft hands, we keep our hands to ourselves, and we all help cleaning up. *We take care of our friends and we share. *We listen when someone is talking and we show respect to our teachers. We use soft voices in the class and we use words when we need something. Last week, we welcomed Bonus to our Preschool C class! Kai's 4th birthday celebration.
Thanks for sharing yummy chocolate banana muffins with us.

This new academic year we are composed of 14 children with 9 different nationalities. We are very thrilled to have a great year ahead. We are still waiting for Ameli, Melissa and Bonus to join us in the next few days. Meet our class. First week of Preschool was full of excitement. The children were exploring the classroom, the new environment, different toys and educational materials. They were able to play, interact and spend time with their old and new friends, and new teachers. They were learning some new routines in Preschool.
Indeed, it was a great first week! |
