Excited About Work



What to do when it snows…Make snow angels and snowmen!  Or jump on a trampoline as we walk around line when it’s too cold to go outside.  



 


We had such a lovely return following winter break!  It has been quiet and peaceful.  Many wonderful works are being completed with concentration. 

The children are enjoying the new Practical Life works.  Several children are also working in Sensorial, building the Pink tower, Brown Stair, and Red Rods.  Sounds lessons are exploding throughout the class. The children delight in writing letters on a chalk board, writing words with the movable alphabet and with paper, and reading many of the Bob Books readers.  We have practiced tracing the numerals 1-10, matching objects to the teen numbers 11-19, and laying out the numerals 1-100.  The maps for North America, South America, and the United States are also very popular in these past days.

It's good to be back and diving into the works with all of the children.

Room 2 began a unit of study on Art Appreciation.  Last week they kicked off the unit with Vincent Van Gogh, specifically The Starry Night and Sunflowers.
