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 […]
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, […]
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 […]

What a great week! Ms. Maddy discovered a cache of cornstarch in her cabinets and decided we were going to do some science experiments. Only maybe she needs to read all the directions first next time… Experiment one was homemade moon sand. We started with the best of intentions, first gathering the necessary sand from […]
Living Things Need Air

On Monday, we reread our books on the subject and Tuesday we began the next part of our science curriculum: What Living Things Need. Living Things need Air. When we’re working with a concept we revisit it a few times during […]
A sunny week full of kites and kangaroos
What a busy week we had in Toddler 1! The sun finally came out, so we took full advantage of the weather and spent lots of time running around on our lovely new Montessori playground. Our color of the week was purple, and we had lots of fun mixing red and blue paints together and […]
