Happy Birthday, Harper!

Happy Birthday, Harper! We are so happy that we were able to celebrate your special day! 

International Peace Day 2017

Today we celebrated International Peace Day. We read "Our Peaceful Classroom" by Aline D. Wolf. This is a special book because it is illustrated by Montessori children from all over the world of various ages. We also made peaceful pinwheels and planted them around our peace pole in the side yard. The big house prek joined in with us also! 

September Artist: Kandinsky

Every month the kindergarteners will learn about a different artist. This month we are learning about Wassily Kandinsky, a Russian abstract artist. You will see a few samplings of our own versions of Kandinsky's work during open house later this month.  

We created 3d Kandinsky circles using plastic cups. We colored stripes around the cups with sharpies and melted our cups in the oven. You will get the opportunity to see our finished works during open house.

August Math Journals

We have completed our first month's math journals! These journals are really fun and are a good tool to practice using our listening ears. You will see these in their take home folders this week! 

Happy Birthday, Ryan Wesley!

Solar Eclipse 2017

We all enjoyed making our solar eclipse glasses a little more unique to watch the solar eclipse 

August 21, 2017. We were able to watch the whole eclipse in the afternoon. We learned all about the solar eclipse during morning group together. Even Mrs. Way and Mrs. Turner joined in on the fun!

Our shadows were a little shorter than usual for this time of day. 

We spotted crescent shaped shades from the leaves on the trees too!
