Ms Rebecca: What grade are you in? Rosie: Kindergarten Ms Rebecca: We spent two years together in preschool and had so many fun times with our class. What is your favourite memory from Preschool? Rosie: Hmmm this one is hard, I think that my favourite memory was hanging out with you a lot.
Ms W’s favourite colour is actually purple, and I know she loves teaching, not because she told me but because it’s in her face. She works so hard she needs a break. I don’t know Mrs O’connor’s favourite colour, but she is really good at spelling and math, she’s really amazing! Ms Rebecca: What’s something different about your class now? Rosie: Instead of having a board we have a smart board for everything. We use it alot, alot alot. We use it for sounds, writing, math, everything you can think of! Ms Rebecca: Have you made new friends in Kindergarten? Rosie: Oh yeah, Senna is my new friend, we like spending time together.

INTERVIEW WITH MS. REBECCA Rose was in my Preschool class for two years from 2018-2020 but was always wise beyond her four years of age. Everyday she brought vibrancy to the classroom through singing, kindness and love of learning. Rose always had a way of making others feel good about themselves by giving regular compliments and cheering everyone on. My classroom is downstairs next to the Kindergarten class and It’s so nice to see Rosie continue to shine at school! Ms Rebecca: Rosie it’s so nice to see you! I’m so excited to talk to you and catch up with all the new things happening since
Ms Rebecca: What skill did you learn in Preschool that you still use today in Kindergarten? Rosie: I learned to read in preschool and now I read big books. I learned to calm myself down in preschool and I still do it all the time. I remember when I used to sit in the rocking chair in Preschool when I needed to calm down and I remember going to Ms. Tiffani’s class and teaching the other kids ways to be calm.
Ms Rebecca: Do you think you have changed now that you are in Kindergarten? Rosie: Well the thing that is different about me is that I have more responsibilities and I’m more trustworthy. Ms Rebecca: Is there anything else you want to tell me? Rosie: Well I’m learning to write Farsi, I’m learning to speak French a little bit and a lot a bit and I go to PE class in the dome because now that it’s too cold out we can’t really go to the field.
Ms Rebecca: What was your favourite activity from Preschool? Rosie: Reading. Ms Rebecca: What is your favourite activity/subject in Kindergarten? Rosie: My favourite thing to learn about in
Now. Rosie is now in Kindergarten with Mrs Wiesenthal and is as wise and outgoing as ever.
