Pre-Primary Room 4

October 2025

October was a wonderful and enriching month in our class! We enjoyed exploring the beautiful fall season through the book We’re Going on a Leaf Hunt by Steve Metzger. In phonics, we continued to strengthen our letter-sound recognition and introduced the sounds of e, f, g, and h. The children also worked on recognizing numbers and quantities from 1 to 10 through hands-on activities. This month, we discussed the North American continent, learning about some of its landmarks such as the White House—its location and who lives there.



In Botany, we explored the roots of plants, trees, and flowers, and studied the life cycle of a pumpkin. The children especially enjoyed cutting open a pumpkin, feeling its texture, and examining the seeds inside. We would like to thank all our classroom parents for participating in our costume parade and for providing such wonderful treats for our harvest festivities. Your support and involvement help make our classroom a warm and joyful community!

September 2025

We are off to an amazing start for the 2025–2026 school year! Room 4 was excited to welcome both our new and returning students, and we are truly grateful to have your children in our class. My team—Ms. Saima, Ms. Lauren, and Ms. Shemani—are here to support your child’s learning and individual needs throughout the year.

In September, our class explored the theme of family, creating family trees that brought comfort and joy as the children shared about their loved ones. We also worked on self-portraits, cared for plants, and studied the parts of a frog. In literature, we enjoyed The Kissing Hand by Audrey Penn, while in phonics, we focused on the lowercase sounds of a, b, c, and d. In math, our lessons centered on number recognition and quantities from 1–10, and in art, we discovered the beauty of primary colors—red, yellow, and blue.



Thank you for your continued support and for helping each day begin with such positiveness during drop-off. We look forward to an exciting year of growth and learning together!

Summer 2025

What an incredible summer we had! We kicked off the season with lots of water fun—splashing in water play and zooming down water slides, which the kids especially loved during those hot summer days.



Throughout the weeks, we explored so many exciting themes: Community helper, Circus, STEM, Spirit week, Bugs and insects, and finally, our End of summer celebration (field day). One of the highlights was a visit from the fire department, where the firefighters shared their important work and showed us how they help keep our community safe. We were also lucky to have some of our own parents join us. Like a dentist who explained how they help us care for our teeth, and a mom who showed us how to plant and take care of greenery. A big thank you to everyone who participated and helped make this summer such a memorable and meaningful experience.

As summer comes to an end, we would like to say goodbye to the children moving up within our school, as well as to those who are beginning a new journey elsewhere. At the same time, we are excited to warmly welcome all the children who are transferring or newly enrolling this coming year. We look forward to having your children in our classroom for the 2025–2026 school year!
