One meet and greet down, one more to go! It was great seeing new faces of children to come and the old faces of Pre-Primary 💜

We enjoyed a tasty snack from our garden today. Fresh tomatoes that were planted by last year's crew. Delicious! #nspreprimary #growyourownfood #responsibility #gardenfresh Ms. Courteny Oldfield Elementary Halifax Regional Centre for Education

Conversations in PP: "Did you know my mom has a baby in her belly? We don't have a name picked out and she doesn't like the names I picked" "What did you pick?" "Darth Vader" 😄 #nspreprimary Ms. Courteny

For the past two days we've been creating with the shape blocks. Today we've been building houses, people and even the "God of Iron". #creative #confident #curious #nspreprimary #imagination Halifax Regional Centre for Education Oldfield Elementary

Thank you to all the parents who allowed their children to participate! We had fun learning new strategies and recognizing all the many other ways we support Numeracy and Literacy in Pre-Primary.

Great strategies in this article! Take some time to read :) we practice mindfulness and discuss our feelings daily. #nspreprimary #selfaware #confident #toolbox #mindfulness Halifax Regional Centre for Education Oldfield Elementary Ms. Courteny

(Tweet 1/3) The children have been telling stories with their peers lately so Ms. Courteny took the opportunity to extend their literacy experience during our morning meeting and had the children work together to create their own story. #nspreprimary Oldfield Elementary

(Tweet 2/3) to extend Literacy learning even further Ms. Courteny typed up their story in the form of a book so that they could add their own pictures. #nspreprimary Oldfield Elementary #Literacy #creative #imagination

(Tweet 3/3) A parent shared a picture telling us how excited their child was about the book. The child set up a chair and a bed for the dog so that he could read his book to the dog. It appears both of them really enjoyed it! #nspreprimary Oldfield Elementary #literacy Ms. Courteny

One of my favourite songs to sing with children for the last 19 years 🤣

I'm always amazed every year when the children take it upon themselves to build a seesaw with the loose parts on our playground! If only us adults could use our imaginations like this. #nspreprimary Oldfield Elementary Halifax Regional Centre for Education Ms. Courteny #imagination #teamwork #science
