Good Afternoon!

K/PREK1 looked at the physical characteristics between a world map and a globe. Afterwards, we sorted these words into four categories. At the end, several friends shouted, “We have a tie!”. We were able to distinguish between what we saw on a map versus on a globe.

Social Studies: K.3.2 Identify maps and globes as ways of representing Earth and understand differences between a map/globe.

PREK2 members looked at a map of places that you’d see around town. Lines were drawn from place to place to show the route that was taken!

Max and Grady explored letters at the island this morning in various ways.

Max asked for the Montessori letters. He spelled words that he knew and then used a dry erase marker to write down the word. As Grady completed his alphabet puzzle, he identified the letter as well as the sound it made. Max and Grady helped one another if they needed some assistance!

Children gathered at the art table where they used leaves and paint to make prints! Large pieces of paper were taped to the table so that friends could make a group creation.

“It must not be forgotten that the basic law of children’s creativity is that its value lies not in its results, not in the product of creation, but in the process itself. It is not important what children crate, but that they do create, that they exercise and implement their creative imagination.”
