“A Child’s Garden”

Teachers:  Tracey Moore and Pam Teeling

In Our Kindergarten
We share everything.
We play fair and take turns.
We are kind to each other.  Friends are important, and worth keeping.
We listen to each other.  When we are working on a problem, two heads are better than one.
We put things back where they go.
We tell people how we feel about the things they do.
We exercise our bodies every day.  It helps us feel better and makes us ready to learn.
We have people read to us every day.  It opens the world to us.
We experiment with writing.  It will help us to remember things.
We sing and dance and draw pictures.  It makes learning fun.
We look everywhere.  We talk to each other.  We notice things.

This is our classroom.  We take care of it.

Kindergarten Play

Our curriculum includes play.  Play is a child’s way of working and learning.  Play is the connective fiber of the kindergarten curriculum.  It is the children’s intuitive language and it helps them to make connections between their reality and ours.  Therefore, children’s active participation with concrete, real life experiences during regularly scheduled, self-directed playtimes continues to be a key to motivated meaningful learning in our kindergarten classes.
