Hello Families,
We had a wonderful day celebrating Halloween today complete with some roll a monster work, creating a vampire card, and going on a pumpkin scavenger hunt around the school yard! The costumes were amazing and everyone had a great time!
This week has been busy and energy is high rolling into the excitement of Halloween! We have been learning about pictorial representations, which means using pictures to solve problems in math. We talked a lot about organizing our work and setting things up effectively so it is easier to understand. We have been looking at and learning about repeating patterns and next week we will move into some fish M-ART (math art) to demonstrate our understandings of repeating patterns and the various attributes that can change.
We also looked at different responsibilities in the home and learned a poem about helping at home. Students generated their own words and pictures about different ways they help at home. Many students were able to provide excellent examples of how they can be helpful at home, a beautiful alignment with our Montessori philosophy at school!
Our final of the 5 senses is sense of smell. We wrapped up this 5 senses work this week as we completed our collage for the nose. We will continue to build upon and revisit these concepts as we move on. Our next work will be traditional Montessori work of nomenclature books to learn the parts of fish.
I hope everyone is doing well!
Important Dates:
November 3 - photo retakes for anyone who would like them and those who were absent on photo day
November 11 - Remembrance Day, no school
Take care,
Ms. Brown
