Mrs. Bean's Kindergarten

Welcome to my classroom blog. I am a Full Day Kindergarten teacher at Corpus Christi School in Ottawa,Ontario. I hope this classroom blog will be a useful tool for parents to stay up to date with what is cool and happening in kindergarten! Please take some time to explore. I have posted links to some interesting reads about the kindergarten child. You will also find links to various educational online games and reading and math tips that support the learning we are doing in the classroom.

WELCOME!

Welcome to Corpus Christi! I hope the school year has gotten off to a great start for your child and family.  Kindergarten is a special 2 year program and I look forward to working with you as partners in your child's education!  

Please check our classroom bog regularly as I will post pictures and other bits of information about the learning that is taking place in the classroom.  

The Kindergarten program at Corpus Christi is a Full Day Learning program that focuses on building a strong foundation of learning through play. We provide a classroom environment that is conductive to learning, that helps meet the developmental needs of each child.  We provide a variety of learning opportunities throughout the day.  At any given moment, the students may be learning by making discoveries, exploring or investigating either independently or guided by one of the teachers in the classroom.

"Play is a vehicle for learning and lies at the core of innovation and creativity..." (Full Day Early Learning Kindergarten Program, pg. 17)

When children are playing they are: analyzing, asking questions, creating, cooperating, developing, discovering, discussing, evaluating, expanding their vocabulary, experimenting, exploring, investigating, inquiring, learning, listening to others, manipulating, noticing, observing, planning, reflecting, sharing, solving programs, teaching, thinking and wondering!
