Pre-Primary 6
November 2025
This month, our classroom embarked on an exciting journey across the United States! The children explored our country, learned about the American flag, and discovered some of its most iconic landmarks. They especially loved learning about the Grand Canyon, the Statue of Liberty, and the Golden Gate Bridge. To bring our adventure to life, we created a colorful landmark collage, allowing each child to express their creativity while exploring these special places.
As part of celebrating the season of Thanksgiving, we enjoyed a wonderful Harvest Feast in our classroom. The children had the chance to taste a variety of seasonal foods, and they tried everything with excitement and curiosity! From roasted vegetables to homemade breads and festive treats, each child embraced the experience of trying new flavors and sharing in the joy of a communal meal. Their handmade turkey headbands added a delightful, festive touch, making the celebration even more special.
Looking ahead, we are thrilled to begin our exploration of South America. The children will discover its countries, animals, flags, cultures, and the rich traditions that make this continent so unique. We can’t wait to continue this exciting journey of learning and discovery together!
October 2025
This month, our class has been busy learning, exploring, and growing in so many wonderful ways!
We focused on grace and courtesy lessons that help build independence and respect in the classroom. The children practiced pushing in their chairs after getting up from the table, handing objects politely to teachers and friends, and carefully rolling up their work mats when finished. They also enjoyed practicing transferring activities, which strengthen fine motor skills and concentration.
In Geography, we were introduced to the continent of North America. The children learned about several of its famous landmarks, including the Grand Canyon, the Statue of Liberty, the Golden Gate Bridge, and Mount Rushmore. They loved creating art projects inspired by our studies—such as bison crafts, colorful cacti, and painting the continent of North America orange.
We also added some seasonal fun to our classroom by making cheerful Jack-o’-lanterns to celebrate the fall season!
It has been a wonderful month full of creativity, discovery, and growth. We’re excited to see what next month will bring!
September 2025
What a wonderful start we had to our school year! This month, we focused on getting to know one another and building a strong classroom community. Families helped us by sending in a special family picture and a butterfly page filled with their child’s favorite things. The children loved sharing these with their friends, and it was such a sweet way to learn about each other.
We spent time practicing our classroom routines — rolling rugs, placing work back on the shelves, pushing in chairs, and using our walking feet. These small but important lessons help create a peaceful and respectful environment for everyone.
We also introduced lessons in grace and courtesy. The children practiced saying “please” and “thank you,” and learned how to be kind and respectful to their friends.
Learning about families was one of our favorite activities this month. The children proudly shared their family pictures and talked about the people who love them. It was a beautiful way to start the year and remind us all that our classroom is like a second home.
Summer 2025
What an incredible summer we had in our pre-primary classroom! Over the past few months, our children spent their days exploring, discovering, and sharing so many joyful moments together.
We began our journey among the stars, learning about the planets and imagining what it would be like to soar through space. From there, we dove under the waves to explore the wonders of ocean life — from colorful fish to playful dolphins — and even ventured into the fascinating world of bugs and insects, discovering how they move and why they are so important to our planet.
Our summer was packed with special events that left everyone excited and inspired! The children were amazed by a magical performance, delighted by our hands-on reptile presentation, and of course, had an absolute blast on Water Day, splashing, bouncing, and chasing bubbles together.
We wrapped up the season with a joyous foam party, filling the classroom with laughter, smiles, and unforgettable memories.
This summer was truly special, and we are so proud of all the friendships, discoveries, and fun the children shared. We can’t wait to see what adventures the new school year will bring.
