Hello Parents and thank you for visiting our blog.
This week’s quote:
We especially need imagination in science. It is not all mathematics, nor all logic, but it is somewhat beauty and poetry.
Maria Montessori
This week our class discussed the importance of taking care of and protecting the Earth. We talked about cleaning up our environment and how to continue recycling our trash. We read: “Why Should I Recycle” and learned new ways of helping the Earth. The children also enjoyed new Earth Day activities in the Practical Life Area. We’ve also learned a new song titled: Promise. It teaches the children that the Earth is there home and to always Promise to protect it.
We also continued our studies of South America and the Rain Forest, and learned about more animals that live in the rainforest (spider monkey, jaguar, Yanomani people, and the chameleon).

On Monday, we had our Rainforest Assembly and enjoyed seeing some real life animals from the rainforest. We saw snakes, lizards, a tarantula, hissing beetles, a macaw, and an iguana. The children learned all about their habitat and ways to help protect our amazing rainforests.
During Kindergarten, Ms. Maryam presented an Exchange Game which focused on exchanging units to ten bars, ten bars to hundreds, and hundreds to thousands.
