February 18th - 22nd, 2018

Montessori Work Period

As you know, our work period is an uninterrupted block of time, usually an hour and a half,  each morning.  During this time the children are able to work on lessons they love while learning and cultivating their skills.  The work period encourages the children to become more independent, build their ability to focus, and be proud of their work.  As you can see in the pictures below this class is a bunch of hard workers who are super proud of their accomplishments!

Valentine's Day & the 100th Day of School!


Friendship!  
Our Weekly Reader this week talked about friendship and what it means to be a good friend.  As a class, we came up with things as well.  Some thoughts were: share your toys, don't make your friend cry, share your snack and say I am sorry.  


We worked on building patterns with different color hearts in honor of Valentine's Day!

Can you believe we have been in school 100 days?!

To celebrate, we did several activities.

We began our day building with 100 cups!  We had such a great time seeing how high we could build.


Do you know what 100 pieces of snack looks like?  We counted 10 groups of ten of cheerios, marshmallows and skittles. 
It was so hard to NOT eat the snack before we were done counting to 100!

After all that snack it was time for a little exercise!
We did ten different exercises ten times!






What does 100 drops of water look like?

First we predicted that 100 drops of water would fill our container.   Then we put it to the test.


We were wrong!  (and so surprised!)



Enjoy the four day weekend!

And don't forget to purchase your tickets for the auction!
