Welcome back Aspen families! Our school year was off to a great start this week! We were all happy to return to the classroom and our school routines! The Aspen students had so much fun reuniting with old friends and making new friends! The classroom was bustling with excitement and the learning of Procedural Movement Lessons while also learning our classroom routines. Procedural Movement Lessons are the ” How To Lessons ” in a Montessori classroom. Therefore, we have been busy learning how to sit on the line during group lessons, how to raise our hand to share our thoughts and ideas during line time, how to unroll and roll a rug, how to carry a tray, how to care for our Montessori materials, how to stay in our chair while eating lunch, and how to convey our ideas, thoughts, and needs when interacting with our classmates. We also learned our Line Time song!! Ask your child to sing it to you!! It sure was a busy but fun week in Aspen!!
Next week, our group lesson topic will be the Days Of The Week and we will begin our calendar work during Line Time lesson. Our Enrichments will also begin next week! Aspen will begin their Music, Art, Science, and Library routine!! See you next week!!!
Practical Life lessons foster the concepts of order and sequence while channeling/utilizing the child ‘s energy to perform tasks that allow the child to focus and concentrate while learning independence.
