This week we delved in the subject of the five senses. We decided the sense of touch is not limited to your fingertips but almost everywhere on your body(did you ever step on a Lego in your bare feet?). The foot sends a message to the brain and the brain tells you that you should say “OUCH!” We can hear loud/soft, high/low pitched sounds. As the sound travels though or ear canal and hits our eardrum the vibrations send a message to the brain on what kind of sound you hear. We see with our eyes and see bright and dark colors. We smell with our nose and particles land in the cilia. Then the cilia sends a message to the brain and the brain decides if the smell is good or bad. We have taste buds on our tongue and when the food or drink hit the buds a signal is sent to the brain. The brain then tells you if it is yucky or yummy. We experimented with all senses but the experiment of taste was the most fun…. see below The Wall Of Disgust.

Your Kids Say The Darndest Things(States and Things):
This week we learned a bit about the internal organs. We started with the brain which is like the computer of the body. It tells our body how fast to breathe and how fast our heart should beat. We discovered the lungs help us breathe and puts oxygen in our blood. Our stomach digests food, the small intestine take nutrients out of our food and large intestine gets the remaining water from indigestible food and creates waste (poop)(that word produced laughter) or as I referred to a bowel movement. The kidneys process excess water and creates pee (more laughter) or urine. The liver removes toxins from the body. We found out that the largest organ of the human body is the epidermis. The liver is my fave internal organ. What is yours?
This brave and dazed boy is modeling the Internal Organ work.

Did You Know(Numbers, Letters…):
Imagine someone writing out the numbers one through 1,000—the word forms, not the numbers. One, two, three, four…and so on. Eventually, this person might start to notice the conspicuous absence of one letter (the second most common in the English Language) no less. It wouldn’t be until this person reached 1,000 that they would finally write the letter A. You may say one hundred AND one but that would actually be 101.1 (one of my pet peeves)!

January Half Birthdays: A Montessori classroom prides itself on having a multiage class. Here is our newest 3 and a half year old student.
They say it comes in threes:
–If you are a baseball fan, then you know who Bob Uecker/Mr. Baseball was. I enjoyed his work.
–Big Chuck/ Charles Schodowski was a Cleveland personality. If you were at a sleepover (in my day) you were found in front of the TV watching The Hoolihan and Big Chuck Show. RIP Big Stache (the certain ethnic pierogi eater)!
-David Lynch a giant among men in the film industry. I was not familiar with him until 1986 when I took a date to see Blue Velvet at Oberlin College. After that I was hooked on his use of the surreal clashing with the mundane. RIP and I hope you are enjoying that black cup of coffee and a slice of cherry pie.

Two friends working together. The Stamp Game is an educational tool designed to teach mathematical concepts to young learners using the Montessori method. This hands-on activity helps children develop a concrete understanding of basic mathematical operations, including addition, subtraction, and eventually multiplication and division. Also, it’s an introduction into the abstract. The main purpose of the Montessori Number Rods (the material she is working on) is to help children associate the names of the numbers with their respective quantities as well as help children understand the sequencing of measurements and quantities. She was pretty excited to completed the work and she let out a giggle. This attracted the attention of another student.They are working on the Triangle Construction Box. What does the child learn by working with the Triangular Box? This activity encourages the child to become more patient, it promotes his level of concentration and this activity also prepares the child for geometry that will be done later on in mathematics.Again, as I call them, Mutt and Jeff, are working together again. They are working on the Six Bead Chain. The long bead chains represent quantities from 1-100 and are arranged in repeating bead sequences to facilitate skip counting, number patterns, and multiplication. Additionally, when each section of a long bead chain is folded end to end, it creates a square, representing the square of a particular number

We learned the skull protects our brain, the rib cage protects our lungs, and the spine keeps us sitting and standing straight. We learned technical terms for our arms, leg and our digits which is a funny name called phalanges. We brought our life sized foam puzzle into our room. His name is Elvis because we learned about the pelvis and it was a cool rhyming name.

Line Time: To honor the late Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. we learned a bit about his life and his accomplishments. The students became actresses and actors as they recreated Rosa Parks making her stand on a bus in Montgomery Alabama. The students enjoyed playing the part of the bus driver, Rosa Parks, “the mean guy”, a police officer, Martin Luther King Jr., and passengers on the bus. We discussed our differences such as skin color, eye color, hair color, and gender. Then we discussed how we are similar. We talked about discrimination and segregation. We talked about if someone with red hair wouldn’t be allowed to do art “just because” they have red hair or if anyone who had blue eyes would have to go to a different classroom with less materials, broken crayons, or no books “just because” they have blue eyes. I had only boys fetch the chairs for the skit and brought that to the attention of the class. We had some very sad girls…. I did let the girls take the chairs back after the skit.
Below is a picture after the skit where everyone can sit where they want. The thumbs up means the students approve.

How does this happen you may ask? The wombat’s intestines contract in sections, with the stiffer parts contracting faster than the softer parts. The softer parts squeeze more slowly, molding the final corners of the cube.

Olympus and we learned the King of all Gods was Zeus and if you made him angry he had a lightning bolt in his hand that he would throw at you. Zeus had a wife named Hera and she was the Goddess of Marriage. If you were a sailor you dare not make Poseidon angry because he was the the God of the Seas and held a trident (a fork like spear) in his hand. Zeus had a brother that he sent to the under world and that God was named Hades. Hades had a pet that was a three headed dog named Cerberus. We also learned about Pan and Medusa.

Our 16th President, Abraham Lincoln came from a poor family, freed the slaves and was president during the Civil War. We were introduced to Franklin D. Roosevelt and how he was president during World War II and how John F. Kennedy fought for equal rights. We then learned that Joe Biden was current president. The children were taught that the president’s wives are called the first lady and that the president lives in the white house in Washington DC, and flies on a jet called Air Force 1. We discussed what responsibilities the President has. The children came up with keeping us safe, keeping the world safe, and running the country.
