This week was awesome. We had a few new lessons about Grace and Courtesy where they learned and practiced many new skills. So much improvement was made that they were prepared and ready to do a cooking activity in the Kiva. We learned about the different types of measurements, food safety, and then we split in 2 groups and baked some delicious muffins. We also celebrated Maria Montessori’s birthday by making hats just like she would always wear. We also learned a lot about her life and the process she went through to develop the Montessori Method. Especially how she continually strived to guide children to be able to discover and learn for themselves. In addition, Tuesday we are also doing several service projects around the school in her honor.
These first few weeks we have been focusing on Grace and Courtesy, Team building, and different assessments. We have gone through a lot of different Language works; making your children familiar with them and able to work on them independently. The next few weeks we are focusing on math lessons and getting them working on all the amazing hands on math works we have available.
Her are a few pictures I had of some of our activities.
We made our own hats in honor of Maria Montessori who loved to wear hats.
We found some praying mantis outside and brought them in for a couple hours to observe and do research about them.
