We want to welcome all our new families that started this month!!!
We’ve accomplished so much already in the first half of the school year and are excited to begin the second half. Classrooms are normalized and our students are mastering their work cycle throughout the day.
November’s theme was Australia. Students learned about animals, plants, and land forms within this continent.
Practical Life
This month we worked independently with food prep cutting up veggies for our soup. Other food prep was cutting grapes, and table etiquette while sharing a snack with friends. We also was introduced to the dressing frame.
Grace & Courtesy
As the weather changes we were introduced to how to properly blow our noses, cover a cough/ sneeze, hand washing, and open and close doors. During our cultural day luncheon we got to explore communicating with friends while having lunch together.
Sensorial
In Sensorial we were introduced to the geometric cabinet. We were also introduced to abstract paper work with color box one and two.
Language
In Language we discussed animals in Australia. Students also worked on individualized curriculum.
Math
New material is introduced on a individualized basis as old material is mastered.
Geography
As this month’s theme was Australia, we discussed animals, food, and land and water forms. Check out this video on land and water forms
Science
In Science we experimented with objects that sink and float. We had an awesome time hypothesizing which objects would sink and which would float. We also discussed parts of a turtle.
Cultural Studies
We all came together and made “stone soup” for our cultural day luncheon. You can listen to the story by pressing the link.
HOW can you help at home? Remember to allow your child time to decompress after school. Wait until dinner, bath time, or bed time to ask these questions…..
- What is an island?
- What is a lake?
- What are some objects that sink? float?
- What are some animals found in Australia?
- What are parts of a turtle?
