Between planned days off and unexpected snow days,
this was the perfect week to review our Montessori lessons in Pre-K!
 |
| Braela is using the Phonetic Objects and Labels. She is sounding out the words to read them and matching the correct object to the word. |
 |
| Marcus is working with the tangrams puzzles to use shapes to build a variety of pictures. |
 |
| Foster is using the Bead Material to solve simple addition problems. |
 |
| Jordyn is stamping capital letters to their lowercase pairs. |
 |
| Scarlett is punching out Asia for her world map. |
 |
| Austin is spelling three letter phonetic words with the Movable Alphabet. |
 |
| Mira is sorting picture cards and learning the names of the basic Geometric Solids (cone, cube, cylinder, and sphere). |
 |
| Blaine is spelling four letter phonetic words with blends using the Movable Alphabet. |
 |
| Charity is counting out quantities for numbers 16-20. |
 |
| Nora is using the Phonetic Word Cards and Pictures to practice her reading skills. |
 |
| Vincent is naming and completing patterns. |
 |
| Kellan is spelling three letter phonetic words. |
Many of the students have taken an interest in learning to tie their shoes. Tying shoes is a difficult fine motor skill to learn and children will master this skill at varying times. It is important not to push your child too much if he/she is not ready. If your child has shown an interest in learning to tie his/her shoes, be sure to check out Mrs. Mossor's blog here for some great pointers!
Some reminders:
- Show and Tell will be on Friday, March 1. The topic will be something that begins with /g/.
- Please remember our procedure for show and tell each week. The children should be bringing in an object that begins with the sound or topic for that week, not just a random object. The students should be prepared to give their classmates 3 clues to help them guess what object they chose to share. Please help your child prepare his/her clues beforehand. At this point in the year, our hope is that the students should be able to do this independently, without help from the teacher.
