Welcome to the PS1H and Owlet blog! Each week I will write about some of the learning that has been taking place in class. Learning at this stage in a child's life is all-encompassing, and it would be impossible to share all that the children discovered, explored or learned in one blog each week, but I hope to at least give you a peak into what is taking place; a small 'snapshot'. The first two weeks have been a time for the children to make connections to each other and to the new environment; to explore, discover and investigate. In doing so they... ...used a variety of construction toys to design and build (see below). They took care of the baby dolls, ensuring that they were fed and rested, reminding us to speak quietly around the sleeping babies (see below). They loved using playdough to sculpt and create; squashing, squeezing, rolling, pinching and cutting. As they played, they worked on strengthening finger muscles and developing fine motor skills (see below). They participated in sensory play (see below). They ate snack and lunches together, sometimes trying new foods (see below). They painted and explored colour (see below). And they played outside, using climbing equipment, hoops, slides, swings, balls, water and of course, the sand (see below)! Shirin and I very much look forward to a wonderful year of inquiry and play-based learning with PS1H and Owlets, and are excited to meet the remaining members of our class over the next few months.

Thank you! I loved seeing my grand daughter in her first few days of preschool. It's amazing; I'm all the way out here in California USA and I still get to participate in her classroom. Thank you again. You are doing such a wonderful job!

I also have the same sentiments as Nancy Levyssohn, it's heart warming to see our granddaughter having fun at pre school and making new friends. We look forward to seeing more posts.
