// Week of Sept. 17 //

During this week, we began to lay the foundation for all future Montessori activities by demonstrating the most basic activities, such as: unrolling and rolling a work mat, walking carefully around a work mat that is laid on the floor, understanding that some work is better  suited for completion on a table and some on a the work mat, and carrying a tray with two hands while walking slowly to a table or work mat. 

       Some students have been showing an interest in socializing and have been making small connections in the classroom while working near each other or enjoying snack and at the park while playing at the playground. 

       Just in time for Autumn’s arrival, we have begun our exploration of apples. We have been signing songs, such as “Way Up High in the Apple Tree” and “Farmer Brown had Four Green Apples”.  Stay tuned for more apple-related activities coming up soon!
