Welcome to our class blog! As I begin this first post I can't help but to begin with how excited and thankful I am to be part of the opening of Anne Frank P.S. It truly has been a wonderful journey so far and I cannot wait to see how the year continues to unfold.
Watching the school being built from the ground up has been an interesting experience for all - our school has turned out beautifully. However, my favourite part of the school is our spacious FDK classrooms that are just magnificent! We are so lucky to have such amazing learning spaces to share with our youngest learners.
Within our class we share the view of the Reggio Emilia Approach that values each child as strong, capable and resilient. Children are filled with wonder and knowledge, and each child brings with them deep curiosity and potential. Their natural curiosity is what drives children to understand the world and how they fit within it. When setting up our new classroom we set out with this in mind. We hoped to create a space that offered students the freedom to explore their interests, engage in activities that would spark new interests, and the opportunity to access necessary materials independently as they were needed.
We continue to reflect on our classroom and add/change things as we observe how the students flow through the learning environment.
Thank you for joining us on this journey through kindergarten where we will continue to be curious as we jump into exciting inquiries and play-based learning.
