This week we continued our introduction to Ground Rules and Grace and Courtesy. The children are becoming more and more comfortable in the classroom and are quickly making friends! Our work periods are becoming a little longer and the children’s concentration and independence is growing more every day! The children also enjoyed learning a few words in Chinese with Ms. Mel during Pre-School Afternoon Group Time!
Working on the Introduction to The Golden Beads! This material gives the child and introduction to place values and numbers and quatities beyond 10!
Ms. Mel taught the children how to say “Hello” and the words for “Mom”, “Dad”, and “Baby”. She also read the children a story about three little bunnies and a wolf in Chinese and had the children act it out during work time!
Practicing pouring! Like many Practical Life materials, the child pours the material from left to right, which will indirectly prepare them for reading.
