Week of February 25

This week we celebrated the life of Maria Montessori.  The children learned of her hard work and determination to become a doctor and then a teacher. The children also listened to books about other Montessori classrooms in Jack Goes to Montessori  School and My Peaceful Classroom.   The children were asked, “If you met Maria Montessori, what would you tell her?”  They created thoughtful pictures and notes answering this question to display in the hallway.

Week of March 4

This week, in celebration of Dr. Seuss, we read several Dr. Seuss books. Favorites included; Hop on Pop, The Cat in the Hat, and Green Eggs and Ham. All of the silly rhymes we heard in the books inspired our children to come up with there own rhymes too. We played rhyming games during circle time and sang rhyming songs too. We have several poets and lyric writers in the making!
