The Heavens Declare
We have recently finished our solar system unit. The Kindergarten class loved it, and we all learned so much. Did you know that Jupiter has 79 moons? Did you know that it takes 248 years for Pluto to orbit the sun? Did you know that Venus is the hottest planet? Thank you, God, for our …
So Happy Together
After a too-long hiatus, this past Friday the kindergarten class and the grade 6 class joined ‘forces’ and began our reading buddy program. It is not an exaggeration to say that it was a beautiful time. There was a peace and a happiness throughout the classroom as the younger and older enjoyed being together. We …

(26) How many feathers long is the carpet ? (37) I am thankful for these little hands that are learning so much.
Pumpkin Patch
Yesterday was a very special day kindergarten: we were able to go on a field trip to a local pumpkin patch! It was an exciting day for each of the children. God’s gifts and presence were evident throughout each part of the day: the kindness of the bus driver; the welcome from Farmer Christine; the …
God’s Wonderful Colours
Kindergarten enjoys the many wonderful colours God creates for us. They treat their body as a temple of God and have fun preparing and eating good food.
