Lawson Heights School is excited to offer a full-day, everyday Kindergarten program for the 2023-2024 school year. A big thank you to the Saskatoon Public Schools Foundation for funding this amazing opportunity for some of our youngest learners. For the fall we anticipate being able to offer families the full day everyday program as well as a half time option. The half time option will be full days on Tuesday, Thursday and alternate Fridays.
Our Kindergarten classes will both focus on nature-based learning opportunities inside and outside of the school. The program will provide learners with indoor and outdoor experiences that nurture emotional, physical, and academic development while fostering curiosity and wonder.
Nature-based learning involves experiences in, about, and for the outdoors. All students will benefit from exploring the curriculum with this lens. This approach to curricular learning includes a range of educational practices linked to improved academic achievement, holistic wellness, personal development, and environmental stewardship in students.
These practices include a combination of:
- Outdoor learning experiences;
- Nature-focused inquiry (in and out of the classroom);
- A play-based, nature immersion approach;
- Ecological education
- Indigenous Land-based learning;
- Place-based Learning.
Outdoor and indoor learning environments collectively support child development. Our program will support students as they build language and communication skills, learn to co-operate with others, make new friendships, and prepare for future learning in the school environment.
