We have had a week of fun activities and lessons. On Monday the third year students were able to attend a basketball game with the fourth through eighth grades. On Tuesday the entire school was able to attend the impressive understudy performance of Aladdin. We have also had the very popular Scholastic Book Fair this entire week. As you can imagine, the Lower Elementary students have been full of excitement and anticipation everyday.
Our lessons this week were a continuation of last week's lessons. In our nutrition lesson the students were able to sort food cards by group and read information about the food. They also created a balanced menu for a meal. In geometry triangles were drawn and labeled by sides and angles. We had continuation on the study of division using the Montessori bead board, bingo board and stamp game. Grammar reviews were done for each level. Each child is creating a book on South America using information collected from previous weeks. Subtracting fractions with different denominators was introduced with the fraction circle box. Finger knitting was introduced as a way of giving students a chance to take a break from their work and relax. We had many finger knitting chains created in the room.
