Lost in Outer Space
We headed into our second week of exploring the solar system. One of the most widely enjoyed activity had to be the “moon crater creator.” We got the idea out of one of our library books. It was quite simple really. We learned the moon’s surface is soft dust much like flour so that’s what […]
Basketballs And Sharks
Last week we started off the week by painting basketballs for our arts and crafts project! We also continued our alphabet lessons and covered the letters L and M. The toddlers also enjoyed looking at pictures of sharks and learning about different types of sharks! We had lots of fun ending our week with music […]
The World As We Know It
In March we combined our class’ interest in maps and their interest in space. We learned that our school is in the Milky Way Galaxy, in a solar system, on the planet Earth, on the continent of North America, in the nation of the United States of America, in the state of North Carolina, in […]
eXcited about Xylophones
This week we focused on the letter X. We did not have many Toddler Words to review so we went over X-rays and Xylophones. For our art projects, we made beautiful Toddler X -Ray hands. We also made Xylophones and had the Toddlers identify the colors before we put the paper down. For Science Wednesday, […]
Tarheel Triumph and Tragedy
What a roller coaster of a week! While we always had space study hovering in the background, with most of our friends still on Spring Break, we decided to devote some time to showing our Tarheel Pride. First we used the scraps leftover from the Miss Maria’s owl project. It was a good card stock […]
Hello April!

X-Week in Children’s House 1-1
Our friends in Children’s House 1-1 have been busy this week learning the letter “X”. We learned that both X-ray and Xylophone begin with this letter and that the word “Exit” has an “X” in the middle. We are enjoying the spring weather and talk about the days of the weeks and count how many days we are […]
Counting our way to the top
This week in Montessori Children’s House 1-2 it is all about numbers! We are doing a counting and adding review. We will also learn about subtracting and counting by tens. Every morning during morning circle we will all count to 50. Repetition is great for remembering the order of numbers. Tuesday will be the day […]
Wonderful “W” Week
In Toddler Room 1, it was all about the Letter W this Week. We went over a lot of W Words such as work cycle, wheels, watermelon, whales, warm, week, Winter, and many more. Our toddlers enjoyed all of the crafts we had this week. We painted blue whales and listened to how they sing. […]
Easter Fun and Space Exploration
We ended last week with Easter celebrations including an Egg Hunt on our playground on Friday. My goal was to hide the eggs so well that when the children emerged from the classroom they saw nothing but an empty playground. The other teachers teased me, but my brainiac kids had no trouble rooting out every […]
