Hello parents and welcome to our blog. Thank you for visiting.
This week’s quote:
“Do not erase the designs the child makes in the soft wax of his inner life.”
― Maria Montessori
This week we continued to learn about South America and the Rain Forest. We discussed all the amazing animals and learned about the different layers that make up the rain forest. The children had an opportunity to taste some wonderful fruit from South America and the Rain Forest, such as: papaya, pineapple, mangos, grapes, coconut flakes, and different tropical fruits. Thank you to our parents who volunteered to bring fruit in to share. The children really enjoyed it. YUMMY!
The children also drew their own rain forest picture and added their own animals to each layer. Lastly, Ms. Diana from P2 joined our classroom and showed the children a dance from Argentina.
In Spanish class, Ms. Lina played some music and shared a few instruments from South America. They were: a Zampona ( wind instrument), a Jira, a Jicara, and Maracas.
This week we discussed the importance of Recycle, Reduce, and Reuse and the effects it has on our environment.
Our older students are continuing to mentor their younger friends in the classroom and are enjoy playing the role as the “teacher”.
We are so very proud of our Kindergarteners for working hard every afternoon on completing their goals…….Great Job!!!
