Did you know pencil and writing skills don’t actually start with a pencil?
Before children are expected to hold a pencil and form letters, they work on developing the small muscles and coordination needed to make those skills possible!
Something as simple as picking up and placing these small gems involves pinching with the fingers, grasping, hand-eye coordination, finger strength and controlled movements. Each time a child picks up a small object and carefully places it where they want it to go, they are strengthening the muscles in their hands and developing greater control.
Little hands-on movements and activities like these are what build the foundation to develop skills like using scissors, fastening buttons, and pencil control for writing!

“Falling Leaves”
We started this artwork with choosing what colours we wanted our leaves to be, to cutting them out, hole punching, and then lacing them all together to create the look as if they are falling down.

The children explored process art using homemade paintbrushes made from sticks, berries, leaves, and other natural materials!

Instead of focusing on creating a specific picture, the focus was on exploring. What marks does a leaf make? What happens when we dab, drag, twist, or mix? How can we use everyday materials in new ways?

Through these simple experiences, children are building creativity, curiosity, problem-solving skills, and confidence in their own ideas.
Our exploration naturally led us into our next inquiry: what happens when we mix colours? We began exploring primary colours, experimenting with colour mixing, and discovering which colours combine to create something new.
The materials may be simple, but the learning runs deep!

Abstract Apples 🍎 🎨

Art is about more than creating a finished product.
Giving children the opportunity to create their artwork with their creativity allows them to express themselves, make decisions and make something uniquely special.

When I set up an art experience, each material is chosen intentionally. The goal is not for every child to create the same picture or follow the same steps, it’s to provide an invitation to explore.

By offering a variety of materials, colours, textures, and ways to create, children are given the freedom to make their own choices. They can experiment, be curious, try something new, problem-solve, and discover what happens when they use materials in different ways.

Although every child may begin with the same blank canvas and the same selection of materials, the finished creations can look completely different . That’s the beauty of it!

There is no “right” outcome. Each piece becomes a reflection of the child’s own ideas, creativity, choices, and discoveries.

🍎 🍂 🧺 🍞
Our farmers market is Open!

From shopping for fresh fruits, veggies or baked goods to making apple pies the classroom is starting to get into the fall feeling!
All of the classroom centers offer a variety of different skills from using the tweezer for fine motor skills, sorting colours, number recognition, or using social skills to “sell” and “buy” from the market!

Our class is a family 🏠
In our first weeks of school the students have been getting into routine, feeling comfortable, making new relationships, learning and understanding the classrooms expectations. We talked about ways to make our classroom feel like a home, how to take care our belongings and how to keep the toys in the classroom in good shape! We are working on sharing the classroom resources, using kind words to our friends…and the hardest part….waiting our turns!
We created our very own visual of our class family where each student looked at themselves in a mirror and then went to create their very own face!
Every individual (and artwork) different from another, yet together we come together to make the most wonderful class family ❤️

Welcome to our newly updated classroom🎨

A new look doesn’t mean leaving the past behind—it means making room for new beginnings, new ideas, and new learning journeys! 💛

Our classroom has welcomed some new furniture, toys, and learning materials while keeping some of the original favourites that have made our classroom special. Every little change was thoughtfully chosen to create a space where children can explore, imagine, create, and learn through play.

Here’s to a fresh new year filled with curiosity, creativity, friendships, and so many wonderful learning adventures! 🌈📚
