Welcome to our Montessori inspired virtual classroom where we learn life skills and age appropriate curriculum together while having fun. The Friendship Haven classroom is positive, welcoming and social. We love coloring and playing games! We enjoy using stories, slideshows, short videos, songs and role-play to enhance learning and comprehension. Most of all, we use hands-on activities! More often than not, we are engaging as a class rather than looking at a presentation or video. Each day of the week is dedicated to a different subject. Learners can join or cancel at any time throughout the course. Day ONE: English Language Arts Day TWO: Health & Science Day THREE: : Math Day FOUR: Life Skills with Show & Tell Each week we focus on a specific theme. The daily lesson will be related to the weekly theme. Week of September 11: Colors Week of September 20: Birds Week of September 27: All About Me Week of October 4: Butterflies Week of October 10: Family Week of October 17: Marsupials Week of October 25: Exercise Week of November 1: Friendship Week of November 8: The Moon Week of November 15: Hygiene Independence Week of November 22: Boats Examples of each subject are listed below: English Language Arts: Tracing letters, practising letter sounds, reading comprehension, puppet shows Health & Science: Brushing our teeth, digestion, rainbows, animal classification (we do experiments almost every week!) Math: Counting, patterns, number recognition, addition and subtraction, sorting Show & Tell: Foster friendships and understanding through show and tell, social games and getting to know each other Life Skills: Tying laces, measuring, recycling, respect, manners, mindfulness At Friendship Haven, our goal is for your child to gain the skills required for a lifetime of self-guided learning. As they show interest in different things around them, we will guide their curiosity with fun education. In the virtual classroom we use components of Montessori teaching by finding common household objects to nurture engagement and understanding during class. Our pace and lessons will vary depending on the needs of each student and the class as a whole. Parents, I'd love to work together to make sure your child is accommodated in my classroom if required. Please reach out and we can make a plan together! ESL students are always welcome to join the fun ☺️ During this class students are allowed to freely speak and engage with the teacher and other students. Mute is often optional. We look forward to seeing you! * keywords: preschool, kindergarten, pre-k, pre-kindergarten, school readiness, letters, ABC, 123, music, art, dance, movement, creative, inclusive, primary, math, child-led, self-motivated learning, student centred classroom, circle time, circle-time, readiness, school prep, kindergarten prep, virtual school, preschool community, letters, numbers, experiment, science, show and tell, share, friends, club, camp, toys, social, socialize, butterfly, Montessori, alphabet, young learner, friendship haven, Miss Sara, Ms. Sara, Ms. Kat, Miss Kat, active, Ms. Kathleen, hands-on, art, ELA, English as a Second Language, ESL *

This Friendship Haven class is taught by Ms. Kathleen. She is an EXCELLENT educator and she's always excited to meet your learners. Ms. Kathleen actually worked alongside Friendship Haven's owner, Ms. Sara, and offered unmatched training during Ms. Sara's university studies. Here's a message from her:
Hello, and welcome!
I'm Ms. Kathleen and I am so excited to meet you. I live in Nova Scotia, Canada with my family and all of our pets!
I have been working with children in many capacities for 22 years. I am currently pursuing my Child and Youth Degree, and have recently become certified as a Child Behaviour Specialist. I have completed many child development and psychology classes in my years of studies. I have owned and operated a private preschool childcare centre for 12 years, and it has been an amazing experience that I feel so honoured to have had. I have a passion for teaching, and believe that there is no greater joy than sharing knowledge with children and seeing them learn and grow together.
My classes will allow your child a chance to make new friends, ask questions, laugh, and most importantly-be excited about learning! I am so excited to have your learner along for this new experience with me, and I can't wait to get to know all of you!
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out!
