Fire Safety
This week was National fire safety week. To celebrate we read several books about firefighters.  We watch a video about fire safety.  We painted sparky the fire dog.  Me made Mr. potato firefighters.  We practiced our fire drill.  We made fire hats.  We played with our fire trucks.  We even put some "fires" out with our "fire hoses."  








Fire Truck Fun!!




We had so much fun pretending to put out "fires" with our "fire hoses."

Practical life
Mat rolling and dressing frames 
Practical life in Montessori is purposeful activity that develops motor control and coordination, and develops independence, concentration, and a sense of responsibility.  The exercises in practical life cover two main areas of development:  care of self, and care of the environment





Sensorial 
Apple and orange smelling Jars
The sensorial area in a Montessori classroom focuses on lessons and activities that help to develop the five senses: seeing, hearing, touching, tasting, and smelling.  The lessons and activities provided in the sensorial area of the classroom help children clarify, classify, and understand the world around them





Color Box 2


STEAM
Our first time using I-pads with Mrs. Zwilling.




Blessing of the Pets
Even Bob was able to join in this special Holy Child tradition. 
It may have been a little raining, but well worth it.  The children loved seeing all the other animals and praying for them.
