Kindergarten Teacher Libby McCawley has been working at The Grammar School for many years.
A Kindergarten student approaches the world with a sense of wonder and questioning. At TGS, Kindergarten students explore hands-on materials to find out about the world around them and their place within it. Opportunities to question, learn and grow abound in the Kindergarten classroom. From our morning meeting where each child is welcomed with a smile and a song, to the reflective candle circle at the end of the day, each child has a voice in our community of learners.
The children travel to local orchards to pick apples and blueberries. These field trips are integrated with reading, art projects and cooking.
We participate in the cross-country ski program with the rest of the school and explore motion and push/pull in conjunction with the experience of skiing or sledding.
Spring finds the kindergarten exploring seeds, flowers and plants, as well as observing insects. These discoveries are integrated with stories and hands-on projects.
