We started off our day with a book look and colouring time to settle in. We then met at the carpet for a welcome, our Bonjour Song, and we did a special rock activity. We each picked a special rock that will be ours for the year. We learned that this rock will help us 'sign in' each morning. Madame Rebecca taught us how to have our rocks listen to our hearts and dreams, and then we listened to our rock's hearts and dreams. This was very special. After snack and outdoor play time, we came in and listened to the 'Kissing Hand' story again, we are now experts on how to feel loved and safe at school. Next we did some Brain Gym moving to music. After lunch and our outdoor break, we came in and met two very special friends: Paul et Suzanne. We learned that Paul and Suzanne will be visiting us each day after lunch to help us learn more in French and share a story. (Paul and Suzanne are puppets). We then had a quiet relaxing time where we had a choice to read a book, relax on the carpet or colour... all whilst listening to Enya! We then talked about playtime expectations, and had free choice exploration time. We played: in the kitchen, at the light table, with the big blocks and cars, at the doll house nature center, with the small blocks, at the math table, creating with beads, and at the writing center. We cleaned up and met on the carpet to learn our goodbye song to end our day. What a busy, but great, first day in Kindergarten at George Jay.
