“The greatest sign of success for a teacher… is to be able to say, the children are working as if I did not exist.” ~Maria Montessori

Our friend Jack was a busy little guy this morning with the gross motor big block activity. He devised a plan with Miss Brittney and successfully made it happen. He placed the two half moon soft star’s together to make a single structure, then placed many big blocks in a line to lead up to it. He told Miss Brittney he wanted to be able to walk along the big blocks to then jump into the soft star circle. After that, he decided to make a different pattern with the blocks and throw our fun “snowballs” into the circle while he counted each ball he threw. t

Jack demonstrated many different educational learning strategies with jus this one activity! Early math skills, color recognition, imagination, and working on utilizing different patterns.

Meanwhile in another part of the classroom, Miss Rebekah and friends read many fun stories. Including the ever so popular “teacher books.”

The two most exciting books Miss Rebekah read were, Five Little Monkey’s Jumping on the Bed, and Two Little Monkey’s Sitting in a Tree. These two stories are fun interactive books for our friend’s to really get into. Daniel and Evie both know these stories very well, and in certain parts tell teachers the words coming up next. They both very excited told Miss Rebekah “Snap, and (while using fingers as if to say no) No more monkeys jumping on the bed.” 

 

Lunch: Whole wheat pasta with butter and shredded chicken, peas, and apples.

Snack: Whole wheat rice cakes with peanut butter.

Have a fantastic evening, drive safe and stay warm.

Marty
