The Rise of the Mammals!
The end of last week we were still knee deep into Dinosaurs and were so excited about our biggest project, the dinosaur print mural! After finishing up our studies on Dinosaurs, our friends in Children’s House 2-2 are now diving into Animals. We’ve been reading up on all the different kinds of animals, like mammals […]
Mommies Rule, Dinos are Cool!
Children’s House 2 doesn’t just have great kids, we also have fantastic parents! That’s why when holidays like Mother’s Day roll around, we try to show as much appreciation as possible. All week we worked on projects in honor of our moms. First we melted crayon shavings between 2 pieces of wax paper to make […]
Love and Dinosaurs!
At the end of last week we said goodbye to the Human Body and starting this week, hello to Dinosaurs. On top of examining super cool books on the topic… … we also made dinosaurs of our own! And then there was the love part of our week… My husband John celebrated a birthday and […]
All About that Body!
The end of last week we devoted to Earth Day FINALLY finishing the globe we worked on all week. Then we went straight into talking about our bodies, not just physically, but also our personalities and emotions. One of the projects we enjoyed was creating life sized self portraits. We also created a new […]
New Beginnings and Earth Day
Changes have come to our happy Montessori classroom as we welcome new friends AND a new teacher… Taylor, Eli, and Ms. Olivia all moved up from Children’s House 1 this week and we could not be more excited for the additions! Our upcoming theme will be “All About Ourselves: the Study of Humans” but first […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Easter preparations
Tragically I lost all my pictures for the week thanks to a glitch in my overloaded computer, so this week will be sadly light on fun shots from our adventures. We finished up our two week exploration of rocks and fossils and are gearing up for the study of space starting next week, but in […]
We Love Fossils!
What a fun week as we continue our exploration of rocks, geography, erosion, and now fossils. Our museum has grown exponentially as has both our interest and knowledge. Thanks to the Library, we’ve got about 20 books on the subject to reference and various projects for hands on experience. One of our favorite activities (much […]
