Welcome to Kindergarten!
We have had a busy and exciting start to our school year in Kindergarten. Both our JK and SK friends are learning and growing together every day!
On the first day of school, we explored our new classroom, made new friends, and even mixed paints to discover brand new colours. Our activity was inspired by the book Curious George's First Day of School.
Students also practiced tracing their names — soon they'll be writing them all on their own!"
Dot Day
We celebrated Dot Day and created our own special dots to show our ideas and creativity. Everyone’s dot was unique—just like us!
Terry Fox Run
We joined the school in the Terry Fox Run. The children showed energy and joy as we learned about Terry’s courage and why he is remembered.
Orange Shirt Day
On Orange Shirt Day, we wore our orange shirts to show that Every Child Matters. We talked about being kind and caring to everyone. We also learnt about the 7 Grandfather Teachings of the Indigenous peoples. We also learnt about the seven grandfather teachings of the Anishinaabe peoples. These are guiding principles for living a good life, including Wisdom, Love, Respect, Bravery, Honesty, Humility and Truth. These principles emphasize treating others with kindness and making good choices. .
Fun Day
We also had a special Fun Day sponsored by the Wynford Group. The children enjoyed face painting, big slides, and lots of laughter!
Character Trait
In September, we learned about the TDSB character trait: Respect. We practiced respect by listening to each other, taking care of our classroom, and using kind words.
We are excited for all the learning and fun that October will bring.
