During our discussions of respect, kindness, tolerance, unity and harmony, the children have looked at our differences and similarities between each other to celebrate our individual qualities. We are inspired by the Bob Marley song “One Love” with the words “One love when your hand reaches out to me. One heart when we touch a new world we will see.”

Gung Hay Fat Choy! We have been discussing Chinese New Year and celebrating the year of the Rooster. We talked about when it begins and how it is celebrated. We made crafts associated with the holiday decorating roosters, lanterns, chopstick frames and traditional hats. We also dressed up in traditional clothing and participated in a fun Dragon dance throughout the centre.

In our Under 3 Montessori classroom, the children are shown easy ways to dress and undress themselves. They learn how to put their jackets on by flipping them over their heads; practice putting their boots on by placing each boot against the nearest wall to aid their balance; work on pulling their snow pants up; and putting their hats and mittens on. Help children to help themselves!

Our French teacher Cheeba works with the children using music, songs, and creative movement with props and special techniques. Cheeba’s curriculum teaches the children conversational French with self-expression, family vocabulary and human anatomy. Children learn to express their emotions with both English and French vocabulary and build on their empathy, which supports their social and problem solving skills. As proud Canadians, we are learning the National anthem en francais along with familiar places in our beautiful country.

Throughout the day, the children work hard to keep our indoor and outdoor environment beautiful and thriving. This promotes organization, responsibility, cooperation, productivity and appreciation of aesthetic beauty.

North Casa began the new season of Autumn by learning about how apples grow. We learned all the parts and life cycle of an apple, coloured worksheets, ‘pricked a shape’ apples and even decorated apples in our classroom. We tasted Red Delicious, McIntosh, Golden Delicious and Granny Smith. The apple tasting was delicious!
