Line Time: Ground Rules: What a wonderful start to our school year! This week we learned about the ground rules in our classroom. We learned the expected behaviors for work time and were introduced to new work trays in the Practical Life area so that we can strengthen our fine motor skills. We learned how to roll and unroll a mat. The four main rules are 1) No running in the classroom. 2) Listening Ears. 3) Keep our body to our self. 4) Treat people and the room with respect. We are learning how to shake hands, look each other in the eye while shaking hands, and reply with pleasantries when I say good morning (students respond “Good morning Mr. John). What a great start to a great school year!

Line Time: This week we learned about the ocean (and the sea, lakes, ponds, rivers, creeks). The main this they have in common is they all have water and water life lurks under the surface such as fish, dolphin, clams, shrimp, and even mermaids. We learned that these bodies of water are good for the environment if kept clean. They are the major producers of oxygen and I call them the lungs of the Earth.
Words from Mr. John(Mr. Dostall/Time waits for no one!):
P.S. We only called Mr. Dostall “Dave” behind his back. It was always Mr. Dostall to his face out of fear.
A What’s the Diff (concerts/shows)? : What would you consider a concert? What would you consider a show (seeing a band)? My interpretation of the said question is as follows. A concert is more than 2,000 people in a large venue. You may be able too see the band but usually there are jumbo screens to help you see the performers. On the other hand a sow is less then 2,00 people in a small venue. You can see the band from where ever you are. I prefer a show! Below are a few recent shows I’ve attended. Yes, I wait 2 hours before the doors open so I can get next to the stage.

Line Time: Solar System- Put on your space suit and get ready to explore our solar system. We started with discussing the planets nearer the sun then worked our way to the furthest reaches of our solar system. Mercury is our first planet and is the closest to the sun. Venus is the second planet. Even though it is further away from the sun than Mercury it is the hottest planet in our solar system. The third planet is near and dear to our hearts. It is the planet earth. It is the only planet in our solar system that has life. The next planet is Mars and is known as the red planet. The next planet is the biggest planet in our solar system and has a big red storm that has been raging for centuries. That planet is Jupiter. Saturn is the next planet and has really cool ring around it that are pieces of rock and ice. Uranus is next and it spins up and down instead of side to side like all the other planets. Neptune is the last planet in our solar system. I did not forget about Pluto. Oh! Poor Pluto. Pluto was once a planet but now has been demoted to a dwarf planet. As a side note learned that most planets were named after Roman Gods and Goddesses.
Did You Know? (More They Might Be Giants): They Might Be Giants has a really cool children’s CD about science and a parent gave it to me decades ago. Also, a few of their songs were featured in Tiny Toons. I saw these guys circa 1990 during the Flood Tour. They were a fun alternative band! Remember Malcolm In the Middle? The theme song “You’re Not The Boss of Me” ? YEP… You got it. LOL

Following this student’sprogress in Math he is now composing numbers from 11 to 99. Do you see the pattern he discovered?She is taking a break and enjoys hearing the other student read.The Montessori 9 Tray is an early place value work. Your child explores and builds a physical place value chart on the floor with Golden Beads and large number cards, units through thousands. This layout will help your child to visualize and develop an understanding of place value, order of numbers, and concentration.The Sandpaper Letters allow the child to understand writing before they can hold a pencil. The Child uses three of the five senses; tactile, auditory, and sight to learn the sound and formation of each letter.

What’s The Diff? Potatoes au gratin and scalloped potatoes are both potato side dishes involving minimal prep time to make a rich, creamy, starchy treat. These two dishes have many things in common, but there are also subtle differences between the two. I spared you a 6 paragraph explanation and bullet pointed the similarities and differences.
Similarities: Both are baked. The potatoes are sliced similarly. Both are baked.
Differences: Au gratin potatoes use breadcrumbs. Scalloped potatoes don’t use cheese. Au gratin potatoes are sliced thinner.

Peek In The Classroom:
The aim of the 9 Layout lesson is to help children understand number placement (1s, 10s, 100s, 1000s) as well as reiterate the association between quantity and numeral. It’s one of the lengthier mathematics activities and is good for encouraging concentrationExcitement ensues when a new work is presented.The beauty of having the Elementary Program under the same roof as the Primary Program is that we get visitors and get to see what the older students are working on.This activity encourages the child to associate numbers from 11 – 99 using Seguin Board B and the beads. This activity helps the child link quantity, name, and symbol (concrete and abstract), as well as it prepares him for operations that will be done later on.

Line Time: Baby Animals- This week we looked at names of baby animals. I started out by saying that most people call human children “kids” and in reality a kid is a baby goat. with that said here are some other baby animal names.
Did you know? A Jiffy is an actual measurement of time. Computer scientists say it’s about 1/100th of a second; electrical engineers clock it at around 1/60th of a second, but physicists view it as the time light takes to travel the radius of an electron. Next, I will research if the terms “tad” and “smidgeon” are actual words for measurements of length. I use those two words often when I get a haircut.

Line Time: We talked about how our plans may be interrupted, changed, or cancelled. Basically, sometimes things do not go the way we planned them and when that happens we have to adjust and make the best of the situation. We went over new things at the new school and learned where the classrooms and more importantly the restrooms are located. Ahhhh, those life lessons at such a young age.
Did You Know?: Are you a fan of The Office? Do you bop your head when the theme songs comes on? Well, originally the theme song was to be “Better Things” by The Kinks. This is one of my all time fave songs because it is so full of hope and good wishes. FYI… I saw The Kinks on this tour circa 1984. Bonus- name two artists that either did a cover or sang this song with The Kinks.

This student is working on the Moveable Alphabet. The key purpose of the Moveable Alphabet is to prepare children for writing, reading, and spelling. The child’s use of the material progresses from single words, to phrases, and eventually to stories. In this way, the Moveable Alphabet teaches children how to symbolize their own thoughts, and begin to write creatively.She is learning her consonant blends.She is working on Color Box 3. The purpose is to help children develop their sense of color discrimination. Also, she has to match the shade then grade the shade from lightest to darkest. This skill will help her with recognition of symbols in Language and Math. Notice the photobomb?Students chipping in to put all the pieces of the Continent Puzzle Maps in their proper place place.

Your Children Say The Darndest Things (The reason I do not like jellybeans):
Line Time: This week we took a look at life cycles of humans, frogs/toads, and butterflies/moths. Humans have relatively boring life cycle compared to the butterfly/moth and toa d/frog. As humans we are born, we live, we die. YAWWWWN. The toad and frog start with being jelly eggs in the water. They hatch into tadpoles and eat algae, then they turn into a froglet which has a head of a frog and a tail. Then the tail falls off and an adult frog/toad lives the rest of its life on land. The butterfly/moth starts as an egg. The a caterpillar is hatched and it eats A LOT. Then a caterpillar spins its (butterfly) chrysalis/ moth spins a cocoon. Then a buttery comes out of its chrysalis and moth comes out of the cocoon. I posed the question “which came first the egg or the butterfly?” This created some heated conversation!
Did You Know? (Cotton Candy was invented by a dentist) It is not known whether William Morrison had an ulterior motive for inventing the soft confection, but the dentist no doubt helped ensure others in his profession continued drawing in plenty of customers. In 1897, he partnered with candy-maker John C. Wharton to develop the Cotton Candy machine (which at the time was known as “Fairy Floss”), and it’s been bringing kids cavities ever since.

Did You Know? (Ringo Star played only one drum solo while he was with The Beatles):
Ringo would never do drum solos, Paul Mcartney said. He hated drummers who did lengthy drum solos. We all did. And when he joined the Beatles we said, ‘Ah, what about drum solos then?’ and he said, ‘I hate ’em!’ We said, ‘Great! We love you!’ And so he would never do them. Except one which was done on the last song (The End) of the last album (Abbey Road) of The Beatles. Truly an end of an era!

Hibernation- During hibernation, an animal’s body temperature, heart rate, breathing, and other metabolic activities slow down significantly in order to conserve energy. While resources are scarce, hibernation allows animals like bears, chipmunks, and bats to use their stored energy much more slowly. Or when Mr. John is on Christmas Break!
Migration- A seasonal movement of animals from one region to another. Such as birds flying south for the winter. Like people who move to Florida for the winter, hehe.
Adaptation- A change or the process of change by which an organism or species becomes better suited to its environment. We did an experiment where we dipped our hands in cold water then dipped them again in cold water with butter protecting our hands
We learned about adaptation using butter in a baggy and ice water. A hand in ice water gets cold and a hand in butter stays warm. This explains how a layer of blubber works.

In a Montessori classroom movement is very important. This is an action shot of her working on the memory game in the Math area. Playing memory games is not only fun for children of all ages in the Montessori classroom, they also provide an opportunity for developmental growth. Memory games can improve brain functions and lead to better retention, attention, and concentration, all while lengthening focus. She is given a number she the walks or in this care skips across the room and counts the appropriate number of popsicle sticks and brings them back to me.A gathering of girls.
