Update from Room 4


The children in Room 4  have been enjoying celebrating all the many birthdays of our friends, and there are several more birthdays to come!  They have mastered singing our special birthday song and it's a delight to watch them sway to the music with their arms linked.  What a beautiful community of friends!

Botany is one of our major areas of study this year.  Recently the children have been learning about what plants need to live: water, sunlight and air, and we've discussed how plants start as tiny seeds, no bigger than your finger nail, grow into a shoot, and then into a plant.  They learned the basic parts of a plant and of a tree: the root, the stem, and the leaves and together we've been reading several science books containing interesting facts about plants.

 

This past week brought our first thunderstorm and the class has  enjoyed talking about storms and enjoyed hearing the thunder.

Many great works continued this week - washing works, lots of Sensorial, several Language works and Sounds lessons, and many great math works.  It's exciting to see the students' concentration and independence.

Welcome Cinnamon the rabbit!

Room 4 has a wonderful addition to the classroom! A new rabbit kitten, only 8 weeks old, has joined our family. The children are so glad to have our new friend and the entire Early Childhood building is equally enthralled with this cute little addition.
We have had lessons on proper holding techniques for rabbits and how to be gentle and loving with our new little bundle of a bunny. Cinnamon, the rabbit, has had a grand welcoming and is being very well cared for in our room. The children enjoy watching him in his cage and also giving him the opportunity to hop around the room.
Each room 4 family will have the opportunity to take Cinnamon home for the weekend and care for him. Please contact Miss Ann if you have questions regarding this matter, and please stop in and meet our newest family member; Cinnamon the rabbit.
