A Peek At Our Week – Aspen – 04/24/23 – 04/ 28/23 -The Life Cycle Of A Butterfly

Written by

This week in the Aspen classroom it was all about the Life Cycle Of A Butterfly, pollination, and flowers! The Dayley family very generously gifted the Aspen classroom caterpillars! The Aspen children have been given the amazing opportunity to learn, observe, and experience the life cycle of butterflies up close. Currently, our butterflies are in the “larva stage,” better known as caterpillars! They are doing what caterpillars do best, which is EAT!!! Aspen learned that there are four stages in the life cycle of a butterfly. A butterfly starts out as an egg on a leaf; the egg will hatch and out comes the caterpillar. The caterpillar will eat the egg it hatched from and will then begin to eat leaves. Once the caterpillar has achieved enough nutrition and has reached maturity, it will move on to its next phase of development: the pupa stage. This is the stage where our caterpillars create a chrysalis and will eventually emerge from the chysalis as a butterfly! The Aspen children will be able to observe each of these stages of the butterfly life cycle. Currently, our butterflies are in the larva stage and are busy eating a special type of nutritional food provided in their container habitats. When they are ready to move into their next phase, they will hang upside down on the lid of the container in the shape of a J. This is an indicator that they will soon build their chysalis. We are keeping a close eye on our caterpillars and are waiting with excitement for this to happen! Once they are in their chrysalis, they will undergo a change! The Aspen students learned that this change is called a metamorphosis. Once the larva emerge from the pupa stage from within their chrysalis, they will now be in the adult stage of their life cycle as butterflies! The Aspen students plan on observing and tracking each stage with pictures and written observations! We will share our butterfly journey with you as well on our blog! A very special thank you to the Dayley family for gifting the Aspen class with such an amazing opportunity!

In Kindergarten Workshop, the Kindergarteners continued their Function Of Words lessons by learning all about adverbs! They learned that adverbs describe the verb and spent their week identifying adverbs and symbolizing sentences. In Readers Workshop and Writers Workshop, the Kindergarteners continued their thematic unit on poetry by reading poems and writing their own! We completed our acrostic poems and wrote our very own onamatapeoia poems! We ended up with some very creative, descriptive, and silly poems!

PARENTS: PLEASE HELP REMIND YOUR CHILD TO TAKE THEIR COATS/JACKETS/HOODIES HOME DAILY! WE HAVE QUITE THE COLLECTION ON THE RACK WHERE WE CHANGE OUR SHOES! IF YOU ARE CURRENTLY MISSING ANY, THEY COULD STILL BE HANGING ON OUR COAT RACK.

A Peek into the Cherry Blossom Classroom – week of April 24, 2023

Written by

Ms. Tonya’s Lesson:

Our Cherry Blossoms began some zoology units with Ms. Tonya this week. We currently have both tadpoles and caterpillars in our classroom! We started the week reviewing the life cycle of a frog from eggs to tadpoles, to tadpoles with legs, to froglets, and then to adult frog. We are using a magnifying glass to observe the tadpoles in the observation container in our classroom and are enjoying feeding them fresh lettuce each day after we have lunch! We also began our life cycle of a butterfly observation booklets. We currently have 5 painted lady caterpillars eating and growing within our classroom. We look forward to watching them complete their whole life cycle before the end of the school year! Lastly, Ms. Tonya introduced the Blossoms to some interesting landforms, animals, and cultures that can be found in the continents of Asia, Africa, Australia, and Antarctica!

Ms. Sam’s Lesson:

Ms. Sam also focused her lessons on the seven continents this week. She reviewed the globe with the Blossoms and introduced them to some vocabulary words such as Equator and Prime Meridian. She also introduced the class to interesting landforms, animals, and cultures found in North America, South America, and Europe! Ms. Sam has been to Europe, so she brought in some objects from her travels for us to observe this week. We loved the nesting dolls, jumping toys, and the Christmas Pyramid!

Kindergarten Lesson:

Kindergarteners continued their study of grammar symbols both in the classroom and with Mr. John this week. They were introduced to adverbs this week. With Ms. Kelley, in Reader’s Workshop, Kindergarteners wrote an Acrostic poem this week with a focus on adjectives. With Ms. Tonya, in Writer’s Workshop, our young writers wrote a List poem about a noun, focusing on using pronouns throughout the middle of their poem.

“This gym is huuuuuggggeeee!”:

We were able to use the gym this week during recess. We played dodgeball and Duck, Duck, Goose with our Aspen friends!

A Peek Into Worktime:

Buddy Works are our favorite works!

These two students are working with Brown Stairs and Pink Tower to build extensions. They use a picture card to figure out the pattern and then recreate the patter with the blocks.
These two children are working together with one of our sound pouches. They work together to practice their letter sounds and then match the object with the correct beginning sound.

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.

Bear, lion, tiger- Cub
Cat- Kitten
Dog, seal, walrus- Pup
Cow, elephant, whale- Calf
Goat- Kid
Pig- Piglet
Kangaroo, koala- Joey

I had to pick the cutest babies

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.

Words from Mr. John (I like what I am seeing):

Welcome Back Blossoms!

We are so excited to be back together at school! Also, I apologize for the delay in getting the blog out to you – I was experiencing some technical difficulties. Everything should be good to go now!

Ms. Tonya’s Lesson: Spring

Ms. Tonya led a discussion about the season of Spring this week. We reviewed the 4 seasons and then discussed the characteristics of spring. Spring brings lots of rain, but it also brings flowers! Lots of animal babies are born in the spring. Spring is a good time to begin your vegetable garden, and farmers are planting seeds as well. We took a close up look to some of the best spring flowers – tulips and daffodils! We also explored some cherry blossoms!

This preschooler is sorting pictures by season.

We used 4 of our 5 senses to learn more about daffodils and tulips!
The best time of the year – when the Cherry Blossom class gets to learn about the cherry blossom tree!

Ms. Sam’s Lesson: Earth Day

Ms. Sam introduced our Blossoms to Earth Day this week. We learned about different ways we can take care of our planet. We talked about ways to Reduce our impact. We explored items that can be Recycled and sorted them by the materials they are made out of. We practiced Reusing by making bird feeders out of toilet paper tubes. We hung the bird feeders outside so that we can meet the birds that live outside of our classroom window!

We sorted recyclables by metal, glass, plastic, and cardboard/paper.
We reused toilet paper tubes to make bird feeders.
Our bird feeders hanging in the tree waiting for birds… and also our new horse friend in the background. What a view!

Our Kindergarten Lesson: Grammar Symbols & Poetry

Kindergarteners dove into Grammar Symbols this week, both in Kindergarten Lesson and the classroom. They practiced finding nouns, verbs, articles, pronouns, and adverbs within sentences. Reader’s and Writer’s Workshop continued their study of Poetry. Kindergarteners wrote acrostic poems and color poems this week!

The Kindergarteners are working on their rough draft of their color poem. We worked on getting our ideas onto paper first, and then building our poem from there.

Enrichment Spotlight: Music, Art, & Science!

Music with Ms. Lisa, Art with Ms. Varela, and Science with Mr. John all resumed this week in their new spaces!

Music class with Ms. Lisa includes Gerry the Giraffe! We practice singing hello to Gerry with our piano and forte voices!
We made collage bird houses in Art with Ms. Varela!
Mr. John’s science experiment was a chemical reaction with baking soda and vinegar!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

We can just run and run and run and run and run!

A Peek At Our Week – Aspen- 04/17/23 – 04/21/23 – WELCOME BACK!!!

Written by

Welcome back Aspen families! We are so happy to be back in the classroom following our daily routine while learning! We are so appreciative of all our parents for being so understanding and patient throughout this unique journey! Aspen is happily settling into their new classroom and appear to be adjusting to their new school environment! It was so nice to finally return to the classroom, play with friends we missed, and continue our learning! We really missed working with the activities and playing with our friends.

This week, group lessons have centered around acclimating to our new environment, reviewing classroom expectations, and picking up where we left off before our unexpected and extended break from classroom fun! This week we also began our more in-depth research on Asia and Australia, learning the names and locations of countries, exploring culture and ways of life on these continents, and discussing Asian and Australian Biomes while learning about animals living in these biomes. It was a very busy but happy week in Aspen!

In Kindergarten Workshop, the kindergarteners learned all about the Parts Of Speech and engaged in a few review lessons. In Readers Workshop, the Cardinals and Chickadees reviewed their thematic unit on poetry and wrote an All About Me Poem. Both groups then created their very own self portrait. While writing our poems we explored phonics, phonograms, and rhyming. We also discovered repetition of sounds when writing our sentences. In Writers Workshop the Cardinals and Chickadees explored the world of color and created and wrote our own a Color Poems

Exploring quantity with the Spindle Boxes!

Pouring Water! Learning how to control movements, focus, and complete tasks independently. Check out that smile!!!

Fun with Phonics!! Creating words with the Moveable Alphabet!

Practicing tricky letters in cursive with the dry erase board.

Lots of group activities during the work period this week. We really missed our friends!

See you next week!

IT IS GOOD TO BE BACK !!!

Thee Buckeye Room Bulletin

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.

A Message From Mr. John (AMMS Strong):

Bring Your Parent To School:

A dad patiently listening to stories about roaches.

Peek In Our Classroom:

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?

Did you know you can get your eyeballs tattooed?:
If you’re looking to get your entire body tattooed, you don’t need to stop at your eyeballs! Many hardcore tattoo fans are getting the whites of their eyes injected with ink of all kinds of colors ranging from green to purple. However, there are some risks involved such as pain and prolonged blurred and double vision.

I am officially freaked out!!!!!!!!!

Our Focus Lesson: Outer Space

This week we learned all about Outer Space! We studied the eight planets found in our solary system, learned about orbits, talked about the sun and the moon, were introduced to asteroids and comets, and were in awe of pictures of our galaxy. Your children now know that Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars are rock planets while Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are gas giants. They know that Saturn’s rings are made of pieces of rock and ice, Venus is the hottest planet, and that Pluto is now one of our Solar System’s dwarf planets. We really loved our lessons this week!

Our Preschool Lesson: Layers of the Earth

Ms. Sam and our preschool students took a deep look at our planet, Earth. They learned the layers of our planet from the crust that we live on to the incrediably hot inner core! We ended the week taking a look at the Stromboli Volcano off the coast of Italy. Preschoolers learned that the mantle is made up of magma, but when it comes out of a volcano we then call it lava!

Kindergarten Lessons:

During Kindergarten Lesson this week, our older Blossoms were introduced to nouns and verbs. We know that nouns are a person, place, or thing and that verbs are action words or something that you do. During Reader’s and Writer’s Workshop, kindergarteners continued their study of poetry with Ms. Kelley and Ms. Tonya. They practiced writing an Alliteration Poem about Spring together as a group, and created a rough draft of their 5 Senses Poem about a topic of their choosing!

“Spring. I see flowers. I hear birds tweet.”

Indoor Recess Skills

We practiced some different gross motor skills in the gym this week during Indoor Recess. We participated in a bean bag toss game, practiced our hula hooping skills, had fun bouncing and catching a ball, and learned how to jump rope! We also danced around to Baby Shark!

A Peek At Our Week – Aspen- 3/13/23 – 3/17/23 – Rainbows and The Light Spectrum

Written by

This week in Aspen, we dove into the world of color again by exploring rainbows and the light spectrum! The Aspen children investigated why and how rainbows occur; we named the colors within the rainbow, discussed the light spectrum, and engaged in experiments involving bending and refracting light. Each day during group lessons, we took a look at the science of rainbows and the exploration of color. We discovered that rainbows occur when sunlight hits a water droplet. When this happens, some of the light is reflected and refracted creating a rainbow! As we researched this topic, we further discovered that light is made up of different wavelengths and each wavelength is reflected at different angles; therefore, the light spectrum is separated and the result is a rainbow! In order to illustrate this concept while gaining hands on experience, we engaged in an activity refracting light to create our own rainbows using a flashlight and a prism. Aspen also read Pink Is Not a Color and This Book Is Gray by Lindsay Ward. Lindsay Ward a local children’s author from Peninsula, Ohio. The book is hilarious, full of educational information, and encourages kindness and uniqueness. Aspen highly recommends this book, so check it out!!

This week we began or Asia and Oceania studies by having Noah’ s mom, Anum Ali, come in to teach us all about Pakistan. She brought amazing pictures depicting the culture and life in Pakistan, and she brought in many visual aides and items to share as she talked about her culture. Mrs. Ali taught us so much and answered our many, many questions! She even taught us some words! Ask your child about their amazing lesson on Pakistan! A very big thank you to Anum for all of her hardwork and preparation, sharing her knowledge with us, Buckeye, and Cherry Blossom! I also would like to personally thank all of the Aspen parents and children for selecting and submitting their countries for the festival. We have begun our in-class research projects because of this!

This week in Kindergarten lesson, the Kindergarteners began their in-depth lesson with the Function of Words activities, exploring consonants, vowels, and articles. In Readers Workshop, both groups practiced their copy writing skills, fluency, and handwriting with reading comprehension books/worksheets. They practiced finding information within a text while answering comprehension questions. We also practiced writing in complete sentences when answering comprehension questions. Both groups also took a quick look at rhyme, alliteration, hyperbole, and onamatapeoia to explore poetry condepts. In Writers Workshop, both groups practiced writing poetry as a group (picture below).

Matching Uppercase and Lowercase letters!

Learning how to find information in books. Practicing our research skills researching life in our Asian country!

Guiding and helping our friends during the work period! The combined age groups of a Montessori classroom provides opportunities for children to exercise independence while assuming leadership roles guiding younger peers.

Peek In Our Week ::: Thee Buckeye Room ::: Week Of March 13, 2023

Thee Buckeye Room Bulletin

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.
