Welcome to Adventures in Kindergarten


First of all I would like to say thanks and extend a warm welcome for checking out my blog. I am a Full-Day Kindergarten teacher and I am very excited to work with our earliest learners after being a Grade 4/5 teacher for the past year. 

Having taught as an occasional teacher before landing a permanent position, I have had the opportunity to work in many different classrooms and grades across the elementary spectrum, but have found the innocence and natural curiosity of this age group of learners to be such a dynamic and exciting area to work with.

With regards to Full-Day Kindergarten (FDK), there is still so much for all of us to learn, but I know that my partner in crime (aka Mrs. Corner our amazing Designated Early Childhood Educator) and I will strive to meet the needs of our students and provide them with the best learning opportunities on a daily basis. With that in mind, we hope to incorporate various types of technology into our classroom as often as possible not only to support our program by enriching student learning and through encouraging students to document their success, but to help students become 21st century thinkers, learners and explorers. I hope to share as much of our inquiry-based learning program with you as possible to encourage and inspire you to think outside the box when it comes to FDK learning.
