Dear RiverRun Families,
Finally a full week of school and I feel like it flew by. This week I gave a lot of lessons. Some of the lessons given were on:
The communicative property of addition-elders and middles
Adjectives-first years
Adverbs-middles
Checkerboard-elders
Our elders have been researching ancient peoples of their choice and how they met some of their basic needs. This research will be presented next week to the whole class.
More work was presented and put out on the shelves related to the History of Lighting as well.
I have been reading a book to the children titled In The Beginning: Creation Stories From Around the World, brought in by Fatima, our library parent. This book has some very interesting stories about how we and the world came to be. I am reading this in preparation for the Cosmic Lesson, another Great Lesson given each year in most Montessori classrooms around the world.
Debbie gave a lesson on Hex signs, a type of folk art that became common in Pennsylvania Dutch country. They have been viewed as good luck signs with each image representing something positive.
Enjoy you weekend,
Amy and Debbie
Upcoming events:
November 8 HMT Shakespeare Field trip
