What we are learning at school

If you have looked at the Ontario curriculum document for kindergarten you will have seen that there is a lot written there. We decided to make a quick reference chart for us all to use in the class. We  pulled out the 8 main ideas and will be using them as touchstones throughout the year. As we observe the children, we will set goals for them in reference to these ideas. Here they are:

1) We are connected to others.

2) We contribute to our world.

3) We have a strong sense of identity and well-being.

4) We communicate effectively.

5) We understand numbers, measurement, shapes, patterns and collections.

6) We are building an understanding of the world around us, of the environment and of technology.

7) We make healthy choices and develop our physical skills.

8) We are open to artistic activities.
