Numbers, Week 2
We happily continued our exploration of numbers this week and also segued briefly into character building activities which is always important. One of our favorite things in the whole world in the classroom is play doh so we decided to mold it into numbers, giving ourselves a refresher on number recognition, as well as a […]
About the Letter “Bb”
We had fun learning the formation of the letter “Bb” this week. We practiced writing it in the air with our fingers and on small chalkboards using chalk. The Montessori Sand Letters were a great help as well and we then traced the letters onto plain white paper using ripped pieces of construction paper. We […]
Math Mania Begins
After enjoying a fantastic Labor Day break, we started our short week back with song… From there it was straight into our exploration of math. Not just counting and number recognition, but also the four operations and volume and time measurement. There’s so many ways the math comes into play, we’ve decided a second week […]

Then we made the birds from egg cartons, construction paper and paint. We enjoyed our last “Splash Day” of the summer and can’t wait for next summer for […]
Look up!
What do you see when you look up at the sky? This was a question we asked ourselves this week as we explored the air above us. First we made puffy clouds using sponges, white paint, and baby blue construction paper. Then we created an airplane out of a large cardboard box, but after Ms. […]
