Hello Families! We had another fantastic week in kindergarten, starting off with Rainbow Day! The children had a blast sorting various colours and participating in a fun rainbow experiment. We used Skittles and poured hot water over them, watching the colours melt and blend together. The kids did a wonderful job identifying the colours and patiently waiting for the transformation. Skittles Experiment This week also marked our first experience with paint! Each table worked on a group art project, painting different colours of the rainbow.

 Hello families! Wow, what an incredible start we’ve had to the kindergarten year! I’m thrilled to share a glimpse of what we’ve been up to during our first week together. We kicked off our adventure with a variety of centers designed to spark curiosity and creativity. From building with lego blocks to exploring sensory bins, each center was a chance for the children to engage in hands-on learning and discover new interests. It’s amazing to see how quickly they’re becoming comfortable in their new environment and excited about the activities! One of our first writing activities involved using whiteboards and stickers to practice writing our names. The children had a blast selecting stickers to decorate their names. It’s a fun way to develop fine motor skills and gain confidence in writing, all while having a lot of fun! We also spent some time making self-portraits. It was wonderful to see each child's unique take on what they look like. A key theme of our first week was making fri...
