Self-Help and Independence
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!

French Curriculum
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.

To welcome Autumn, we have decorated our classroom with some of our special art pieces, which include ink blotted leaves, pumpkin mobiles, an Autumn wreath, and hand printed leaves for our tree. We have enjoyed reading books and singing songs about Autumn. The children are looking forward to some upcoming apple tasting. We can’t wait to taste the delicious variety of apples!

Autumn!
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!
