Welcome To Our Classroom!

For those parents and caregivers who have not been able to visit our classroom, please take a look at some pictures of our different centres!

Every morning we begin our day by reading some books, doing the calendar and reading the morning message together. 

We will be using some technology in our program, including computers, laptops, CD players, digital cameras, iPads and this Smartboard.

Above is just an overview of our classroom set-up.  Directly in front are our Writing and Arts & Crafts centres, on the chart stand is where students can read our weekly poems, behind that is our Math Centre, off to the back (out of sight) is our Exploration Centre and at the back is our House Centre, Building/Blocks Centre as well as our Dramatic Play Centre, all of which you will be able to see in more detail a few pictures down.

Here is our Listening Centre!  Students can sit together and listen to books being read on CDs or tapes and can read along with their favourite stories.

This is a closer shot of our House Centre.

Here is a classic favourite - the Sand Centre!  Students love to explore different textures in the sand, to see what happens when water is added to the sand, to use various tools for building in the sand, measure the capacity of different containers using sand, etc.

Here are some of our blocks that the students love using to explore building different structures.  You can also see some more blocks at the back of the room.  As you may also note, we have what we call the "comfy couch" for quiet reading, resting and even for dramatic play!
