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 […]
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 […]
Quilts and Queens
We had an excellent week in Toddler Room 1! This week we worked on the letter Q. We did lots of fun arts and crafts. We made question marks and did some Q tip paintings masterpieces. This allowed the toddlers to show their creative side and choose their favorite colors. During nap time, our toddlers love […]
Happy New Year!!!!
Welcome Back! We hope everyone enjoyed their Winter Break! All of our toddlets in Toddler Room 1 were ecstatic to see their teachers and their friends! This week our letter was P. The toddlers completed a lot of activities that focused on the letter P. We painted the letter P with Pom Poms and Panko bread […]

Birds Need Homes
As well as being obsessed with snakes and alligators, our class has a special interest in birds. We all can identify the mockingbirds who visit our playground, but we also spend plenty of time looking through our bird field guide, our National Geographic bird book and talking about owls. Last week, we read Owls Live […]
Living Things Need Food
The Thanksgiving holiday made a short week, but we read at least two books every day to make up for it. We read about the history of corn, harvest celebrations and foods that various animals eat. Herbivore, carnivore and omnivore is one of the easiest concepts for our students to pick up and remember. Some […]
Living Things Need Water
Water water everywhere! Living Things Need Water, but not only to drink. Some living things live in water. This week we read about life in a pond, a book about alligators because our class is obsessed with alligators and two books about the water cycle on earth. Some of our students preferred the realistic watercolor […]
