Hi there! Thanks for coming back to check out what N2 has been up to this week! We are still getting acclimated to our Nursery School environment but Mrs. Festa and I are so proud of the strides we have made in just the short time we have been together.
Every morning we talk about our class rules. This week we created our class contract. We read over and discussed our classroom rules and why they keep us safe. Each child's hand was traced and place on our "contract".
In keeping with our apples theme, on Wednesday we made apple volcanos. The children just loved seeing the apples "erupt"! We also used our senses to explore the apple volcanoes. We used our hands to feel the foam that erupted from the volcanos, we used our noses to smell the vinegar used to make the eruption, and our eyes to observe it.
-Practice cleaning up with your child. Montessori education is all about independence and responsibility. We are learning how to clean up our work before beginning a new activity. Reviewing this at home is greatly appreciated.
-Review primary colors: red, yellow and blue. You can pick out various items of red, yellow and blue in your environment and ask your child to identify them. If they have mastered colors, you can do this with shapes.
-We are working on sitting at the table for snack and waiting for all our friends to finish. Please try to do this during meal times at home.
