New Challenges and Hard Workers!
Now that the weather has done a 180, we’ve spent more time at school and more time working our gross motor skills on the playground. One of our favorite outdoor activities all week (besides getting chased by “Abiyoyo”) was creating a obstacle course and winding our way through it, complete with midway modifications and added […]
Opposites and Rhymes
This week at Montessori Academy of Carrboro in CH 1-2 we are focusing on counting to thirty and remembering the order of numbers! For example 1,2, 12 and 21 and being able to count and recognize them. We are also learning about opposites and rhyming words. Counting to thirty has been a morning circle activity that […]
Old McDonald had a Farm…
After the snowstorm, the playground was covered with snow but that did not stop our Toddlers from wanting to go outside! This week we discussed Farm Life. We centered our week around our Toddlers new favorite song, “Old McDonald Had a Farm…”. We allowed the toddlers to state animals they knew and we learned the […]
Rabbits and Rain Drops
This was a short week in our Toddler Room 1 class. We celebrated Martin Luther King Jr Day on Monday and the snowstorm cancelled our Friday. However, the other days of the week were accompanied by lots of activities and art crafts focusing on the letter R. We had our friend Marcel the Rabbit visit. […]
Snowy Playground
The snow storm over the weekend left our playground blanketed in snow that stuck around for most of the week. The toddlers had so much fun playing in our own Winter Wonderland Playground! This past week we also had a lot of fun coloring dinosaur pictures and playing with Play-Doh! The Toddler 2 class had […]
Snow Days Fun!
Obviously the bad weather over the weekend made us miss a bit of school over the last few days, but those that came in (once we got school back open again) had no trouble keeping themselves busy! First I surprised everyone with a visit from my wonderful husband, John, who brought with him the friendliest, […]
Pretty Pleasant Week
The Montessori Academy of Carrboro has been a winter wonderland. The ground is covered in snow and the kids have been regaling us with their snow day stories. Our class specifically has had a wonderful view of the snowy playground to talk about during circle time and snack time. The kids are extra excited this week […]
Animals And Planets
We had a short week last week! Monday was the MLK holiday, and the school was closed on Friday for the ice storm. But even with just a few days of school, we still had lots of fun in the Toddler 2 class! We learned about the planets in our solar system and made our […]
Crayon and Marker “Melting”
The best thing about this week was that we got to meld two of our favorite Montessori classroom pursuits… Art and science. First, we decided to replace the snakes that hang from the ceiling of our room. That meant having to come up with a new artwork experiment that would be appropriate for such a […]
Numbers And Art!
Another great week here in the Toddler 2 class! This past week we made “Tie-Dye” art using markers and coffee filters! We practiced recognizing our numbers 1-5 both visually (looking at the numbers written down) and tactilely (touching and holding wooden blocks shaped like the numbers). We celebrated our friend’s Beckett’s birthday! And we said […]
