April 12-16

 

Dr. Maria Montessori believed that

“The hands are the instruments of man’s intelligence.” In a Montessori classroom, children learns by doing, engaged in multi- sensory exploration to explore the world around him and stimulate their intellectual development. The use of hands helps the child’s intelligence reach a higher level and express stronger personality.

Dinosaurs 

This week we had a lot of fun learning about Dinosaurs.  We have counted them, sorted, sang about them, and read about them.  We love doing our new dinosaur puzzles and lessons.  Next week will continue to have even more dinosaur fun.

Sensory fun 

Pretending all of our dinosaurs were herbivores.  Dinosaurs love Kale!

Planting 

Before spring break we had a special planting spirit day.   Several of our green bean plants have gotten so big that we had to replant them in a bigger pot.   After we were done planting we took the time to stop and smell the  flowers.  Spring is here!!!
