Not only will the children be learning their numbers, letters, sensory, and practical life skills, but also your child will be given the chance to express their creative side through music, dance and art. We will also be taking time to fit in physical activities in our big gymnasium throughout the week! Our location offers a quiet residential area with lots of green space for outside play during the Fall, Spring and Summer months.
Art! Zumba! Dress Up! Montessori Activities! Singing! Yoga! Music!

Preschool Mannequin Challenge ~ 2017
Today we celebrated National Reading Awareness Month with “Wacky Wednesday” - a Dr. Seuss book about a boy who wakes up to notice a shoe on his wall. With every turn of the page, the scenes seem to grow wackier and wackier! The kids showed up in their most mismatched, backwards, inside-out, lopsided clothing and they were surprised to see some unusual things in the classroom too! At the end of the story, the boy’s wacky day ends after he finds 20 wacky things in his neighborhood. So the kids also went on a search around the classroom to find 20 crazy surprises before we started our day. 📚

Over the past few weeks our class has been “traveling” and exploring new places around the world! ✈️ Our first stop was Morocco! While we were there we learned about different animals, the Moroccan flag, created our own Mosaics, tried some delicious Moroccan tea, and ate couscous in our colorful tent!
~ March 2018

Our second stop was Ireland! The kids tried out some different instruments, tasted Irish Soda Bread, performed an Irish Jig and made Shamrocks! 🎻

Our last stop was Thailand!! 🇹🇭 There were some pretty cool animals to learn about while we were there! A particular favorite was the Binturong (Bearcat) which has a scent similar to popcorn!
We also tried a star fruit, dragon fruit, and mango and then had a vote to see which one was the class favorite.
Another fun fact we discovered - The shape of Thailand is similar to the shape of an Elephant’s head!
One of our classmates is on vacation and was just recently in Thailand. She sent us some pictures of her trip so we could see what the “real” Thailand looks like.
We had so much fun traveling around the world this month but it was time to get back on our airplane today and fly home to Canada. 🇨🇦😉 We celebrated our return with some yummy cupcakes! I wonder where we will go next year! 😊

We used the Cook By Colours Cookbook yesterday to make cookies with our Preschool classes. One of our awesome iDiscover families created this book and it’s so cool! All of the recipes are illustrated through pictures and use color-coded measuring cups and spoons. This made it easy for the kids to take the lead while us teachers were only needed for minimal guidance!

Over the past few weeks, our Preschool students participated in different activities at school and at home to raise funds for children in need over the holidays. Our kids were able to raise enough money to buy toys and snacks for two Kindergarten classes at Albert Community School located in North Central, Regina. iDiscover students were involved in preparing and packing up the Christmas gift bags before we delivered them today. Our students also raised enough money to make a generous donation to the Regina Food Bank! We would like to say a BIG THANK YOU to all the iDiscover Preschool kids and their families for their kind donations given this year. It makes us so proud to see all of our students participating and thinking of others during this holiday season. GREAT JOB EVERYONE!!! #kidshelpingkids

Last month we travelled around the world and visited Australia, France and Africa!
While in Australia, we learned about the Flag, Boomerangs, Didgeridoos, Australian Slang, and the many different animals that live in the Outback. Then we packed up our bags, grabbed our passports and headed to Paris, France where we saw the Eiffel Tower and enjoyed fresh croissants from a little French Bakery. After visiting the Eifflel Tower in Paris, we boarded our plane and headed over to Africa where we learned about African art, music, and all the different cool animals that live there!

We would like to say a BIG THANK YOU to all the iDiscover Preschool students and their families for their kind donations to our Regina Food Bank Fundraiser held over the past few weeks. Students were encouraged to help out at home and at school in order to collect spare change from their Parents and Teachers to add to the classroom's "Food Bank Fundraiser Jar". All of the children were excited and eager to do their school work and help out around the classroom. The kids also baked cookies at school and held a bake sale in order to raise money. Students helped their parents around the house, donated change from their personal piggy banks, participated in a fundraiser pizza night, and held their own bake sales at their parent's place of work. We are so proud of all our students for participating and thinking of others during this holiday season. Our class was able to raise $1212.16 and buy 40 turkey dinners for families in need. This year the PotashCorp is matching all holiday donations so our 40 turkey dinners will turn into 80 turkey dinners!!! Great job everyone!!!
