// Curriculum Update: Week of Feb. 18 //

During this short school week, our Circle Room friends enjoyed several new activities. In our Peace Education area, an exercise which illustrates how our hearts are full of love when we “Turn on our Love Light” and show kindness to others was introduced. This work encourages discussion of ways we can be kind to others.

           In the Practical Life area, a Weaving Board exercise is now available. The students can weave a thick ribbon under and over elastic bands. This work appeals to a child’s strong sense of order as it promotes hand-eye coordination, independence, and concentration. 

          At this point in the year, the children  are accustomed to gathering at circle time and singing about the days fo the week. They are so proficient at the calendar activities, that each day a new student is invited to stand near the wall calendar and lead the class in  song.  The children are whole-heartedly enjoying the experience of being a leader at circle time.
