Pre-Primary 6
September 2026
September has been a wonderful month of getting to know one another, learning our classroom routines, and beginning our school-year journey together!
All About Our Families 👨👩👧👦
We began the school year by talking about the special people in our families. Each child brought in a family picture to add to our classroom family tree. The children also completed an “All About Me” paper to display alongside their family picture. It has been so special to see the children proudly share about the people who are important to them and to learn more about each other.
Learning Our Classroom Routines 🌟
A big part of September has been learning how our classroom works and practicing routines that help us take care of our classroom and one another. The children have been practicing:
- Pushing in their chairs when they get up from their seats
- Rolling up their rugs when they are finished working
- Returning their work to the appropriate labeled shelf
- Introducing themselves to others
- Waiting patiently on the red line for their turn to go to the playground
These routines may seem like small steps, but they are important skills that help our classroom run smoothly and help the children become more independent each day!
Our Letters and Sounds 🔤
We were also introduced to the letters a,b and c. The children learned the sounds each letter makes and explored objects that begin with those sounds. We enjoyed listening for the sounds in words and discovering objects around us that connect to the letters we are learning.

- Please update the school if there are any changes to your contact information, emergency contacts, or authorized pick-up list.
- As we head into the fall months, mornings may be cool while afternoons remain warm. Please send your child with a labeled sweater or light jacket each day so they can stay comfortable as temperatures change throughout the day.
