September has brought many exciting new things to our classroom. Students are learning about their new friends, tumble tots and dance has started and lots of new things are being introduced daily in the classroom. The theme for September was Land, Air, and Water. Each classroom introduced descriptive material that distinguished the three.
PRACTICAL LIFE
In pratical life, students were introduced to dry transfer work, dry and wet pouring, stringing materials, and tonging. All these materials contribute to the order, concentration, coordination and independence in our students work cycle.
Grace and Courtesy
In grace and courtesy students were introduced to our daily ground rules within the classroom, introducing yourself to teachers and peers, using the restroom, drinking fountain, rolling a rug, and carrying a tray to designated area. In each classroom there is a food prep table. Students are able to enjoy making a snack with a classmate and showing grace and courtesy with table manners.
Sensorial
Teachers introduced sensorial materials such as the knobbed cylinders, knobless cylinders, pink tower, brown stairs, and red rods. These materials assist in discrimination and order, i.e shortest to longest, thickness to thinness.
Language
In language, students were introduced to the solar system, distinguishing things that are the same and different, books discussing starting school, and their individual based curriculum.
Math
Students are able to work with premath material freely. Introduction to more material is based on the students individualized curriculum.
In geography we discussed land air and water with concrete objects such as land (dirt) air (empty jar of air, wind on playground), and water (jar of water). Students has to categorized object into the three areas.
Students explored living and non living things in the science area. We also discussed farm and domestic animals, plants, leaves, and more about the solar system.
Cultural Studies
During cultural studies we did music and movements with learning each other’s names. We also discussed transportation on land, air and water. Students learned about Maria Montessori on our Peace Day.
