Mathematics lends itself to connections in all areas of learning. Inspired by the story ‘The Toys’ Party’, Year one children explored the elements of planning a party themselves.
ELC follows the new Ontario Curriculum (2020), which incorporates six learning strands: social emotional learning skills in Mathematics and Mathematical processes; Number; Algebra (coding); Data; Spatial Sense (measurement), and Financial literacy.
Before the mid-term break, ELC children enjoyed their first Fun Field Day in three years! Gathered together in mixed year group teams, the children participated in a range of collaborative and competitive games such as rock climbing, go fishing, and more.
At ELC, your children know all about the importance of this word, ‘yet’; it is a word that encourages learning, builds confidence, sustains engagement, and empowers - it is part of the mental architecture for a ‘growth mindset.’
Listening is the foundation of our learning relationships. Teachers attentively listen to children’s thoughts and emotions - spoken and otherwise expressed - which breeds a confidence in them to explore their ideas, and allows them to be unafraid of making mistakes or of being themselves.
