The first week of school...usually the most exciting, exhausting, dynamic week of the year...is under our belts. Even in just 5 days, we've noticed dramatic differences in our students. Already they are adjusting to the routines (cleaning up, sitting for stories, lining up for recess), the centres in the room, and the outdoor play spaces.

| Building muscles, reaction times, and visual discrimination on the trikes |
Our days are a rhythm of meeting times, play-based learning explorations, eating, quiet rests, and outdoor play. Already we are finding a routine that fits our children and their needs. We can't wait to see what growth week 2 will bring!
