"Tag to the toes, hands in the holes and FLIP"
In the Montessori classroom, it is important that the children have the opportunity to be as independent as possible. The classroom is carefully prepared so that is accessible for the children. However, it doesn't stop there. The children are given the tools they need to be independent in all aspects of their tiny lives. This week we have begun to work on the Montessori coat flip. You may hear your child say "tag to toes" . This lets them have a guide on where to begin. Once the tag is to their toes, hands go in the holes and flip!
Some of the children have mastered it.
Some are still practicing. (or just being silly!)
Please encourage and allow your child the time to practice and succeed!
I sent children to PE and picked up some turkeys!
Mrs. Mossor had the students work together to turn their friend into a turkey.
Getting ready to make corn dance!
What we needed: corn kernels, baking soda, vinegar and a clear jar.
Now the baking soda. Once the bubbles settle, the kernels dance! We had such fun watching them go up and down.
