Did You Know (Johnny Appleseed was a lush?): Yes, there was a real “Johnny Appleseed” named John Chapman who planted thousands of apple trees on U.S. soil. But the apples on those trees were much more bitter than the ones you’d find in the supermarket today. The apples that “Johnny Appleseed” Chapman favored for planting were small and tart “spitters”—named for what you’d likely do if you took a bite of one. But this made them ideal for making hard cider and applejack. This was a far more valuable crop than edible apples.

Did You Know? (Yellow Stop Signs, are you kidding me?): In 1922, the American Association of State Highway Officials met to determine a standard design for stop signs, and that’s where they decided on the color—yellow. Wait, what? Yes, according to Business Insider, because they thought that yellow would grab drivers’ attention. They’d also considered red, but there was no dye available at the time that wouldn’t eventually fade. By 1954, however, sign makers had access to fade-resistant porcelain enamel, and could finally start making stop signs the red color we recognize today.

Children listening to a student read. Even listening sparks interest in reading.
This girl is working with me on the Second Introduction Of Decimals in which we exchange equal quantities. The aim (s) are to introduce the child to the concept of the decimal system, To make the child familiar with the names and relative sizes of the categories, and to help the child with the difference in bulk between e.g. 6 units and 6 thousands.
These students are working on a color tablet work. You can see they are creating a pattern with the colors. Even more challenging the colors are different shades.
This boy is working on the Pink Tower and Brown Stairs but he made his own creation which is called an extension. Extensions are activities that are introduced after the initial presentation with a material, in order to encourage the child to re-visit the material and solidify the skills and/or concepts it’s designed to provide.

Did You Know? (I’m More of a Milky Way guy): 3 Musketeers bars got their name because they used to come with three flavors. The original 3 Musketeers bars of the 1930s came in three-packs, with a different nougat flavor in each: vanilla, chocolate, or strawberry. World War II rations made that triple treat expensive, so the company cut down to one which was the more popular, chocolate.

Children preparing for the International Festival by coloring their African country’s flag.
Kinders working on the Bead Chains. The main purpose of the Bead Cabinet is to help develop children’s knowledge about numbers from the concrete to the abstract. By working with the material, children form a strong understanding of number sequencing, as they learn how to skip count by twos, threes, all the way through to tens.
She has completed the Spindle Box. The spindle boxes have important purposes of reinforcing the idea that the symbols represent certain quantities of separate objects, introducing the concept of zero and its symbol, and reinforcing the sequence of the numerals.
This boy is sorting beads. He has nice e sections with nine colors. He has colors of different shades. Maria Montessori’s sensorial work uses “sorting” in specific ways that work to use all of the child’s senses, one at a time, in order to refine them. The goal is to train the brain to create more organized thoughts and ways of retrieving information.

Introduction to Numerals of the Decimal System is a Montessori Math Early Childhood lesson is pretty straightforward, the goal of this lesson is to introduce the numerals of the decimal system. The child is introduced to the Montessori color coding of the numerals, 10 units equals 1 ten, 10 tens equals 1 hundred, etc. This work we play a game of exchanging the appropriate quantities.
Why is cutting with scissors important? It is simple… It enhances independent movements of each finger and strengthens hand muscles. Enhances bilateral coordination skills (two-handed coordination), visual and motor skills (eye-hand coordination), visual perceptual tasks (directionality), fine motor skills (separation of hand, finger dexterity), and promotes grasp pattern, focus and attention. Phew….. that was a lot!

Your Kids Say The Darndest Things (All dogs go to heaven):
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 toad/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? (Don’t Listen To What Your Mother Said): Although chewing gum is designed to be chewed and not swallowed, it generally isn’t harmful if swallowed. If you swallow gum, it’s true that your body can NOT digest it. But the gum doesn’t stay in your stomach. It moves relatively intact through your digestive system and is excreted in your stool. Did your mom tell you it would take seven years to digest? Mine did.
Below is the gum where the flavor lasts a whole eight seconds. I also thought it says “vapes” in action.

These two are working together on the 100 Board. Around three or four years of age, depending on how quickly the child has grasped the concept of counting to 100, and also helping them to understand number order. Through their work, the children are able to correct any mistakes independently, as the control card guides the activity.
This is week two for tracking the growth of the the flower. The stalk is now approximately 23 inches and 52 centimeters.
The direct purpose of the Sandpaper Numbers is to teach children the symbols that represent each number, allowing them to visually identify any number from 0 – 9. In Montessori education this is specifically taught separately to counting from 0 – 9, where children often fall back on rote memorization.
Montessori Teen Board with Beads, teaches a child (3-5 yo approx.) to associate the quantities and symbols from 11 to 19. Using the Teen Boards, the child explores the number names of the teens and the sequence of numbers 11–19.

Your Kids Say The Darndest Things:(Preparing for baby sister)
This week the Aspen Room is learning all about North America. We discussed the various land regions of North America , characteristics of these regions, learned about the Native Americans and their their way of life within the different regions, then we learned the names of the countries in North America. As we discussed the Native Americans of the Southwest, we learned about the Pueblo, Navajo, Apache, and Zuni tribes. As we researched we discovered that they were very resourceful and created many amazing things such as; Pueblos (apartment like structures made of adobe, bricks of clay and water, Hogans (housing structures of the Navajo), beautiful jewelry, detailed clothing garments, and pictographs (pictures that represent words) for writtten communication.
The Aspen class then tried our hand at some of the Native American techniques of weaving making bowls and painting with sand. While creating these works of art we discovered that they were significant to different regions of our country. We also learned how draw a few pictographs as well.
Copy Writing Pictographs!
North America Puzzle Map Tracing!!
Sand Painting a Zia sun symbol.
Next Week: We will continue with the North America art projects. The Aspen class will also discuss weather, types of weather, and what determines the type of weather we have. The class will also track the weather for the week while engaging in fun activities and experiments! The kindergarten students have been learning about money this week and will continue their exploration of money next week!
Line Time: We had fun this week looking into the world of art. We went over the primary and secondary colors. We learned there are different ways to create art such as, drawing with pencils, coloring with crayons, and painting. We looked at artists such as Michael Angelo, Pablo Picasso, and Andy Warhol.
A Starry Night, a student’s rendition.
Did You Know? (chuuug it! Chuuug it!): Drinking too much water can be deadly. When guzzling a lot of liquid, you can suffer from water intoxication or hyponatremia, which occurs after an obscene amount of water is consumed, often during endurance events when participants are also losing sodium through their sweat. There have been many notable cases, including the 2002 Boston Marathon competitor Cynthia Lucero, who died from overhydration.

This week in the Aspen Room our topic is all about our planets, space, and our solar system! We learned the names of the planets, fun facts about them, and where they are located within our solar system. We also discussed space related vocabulary and watched lots of fun Solar System videos from Kids Learning Tube on Youtube! We also got to watch a video that demonstrated the sizes of planets, stars, and galaxies! The Aspen class also worked on Solar System science experiments! One experiment demonstrated the concept of how a planet orbits around the sun and the other experiment was How/Why craters are formed. Your child is now an expert when it comes to planets, stars, and space! They had a lot of information to share during group lessons and class discussions! We have many amateur Astronomers in the Aspen Room !
It also happened to be Seuss Week! The Aspen room had lots of fun exploring language, sound, and alliteration with the Dr. Seuss books. We discussed rhyming, engaged in word play rhyming our own words, and got to create fun crafts! All the children demonstrated such creativity with their Seuss related outfits and shared their favorite Dr. Seuss books!
Rolling Dice then combining their quantities to explore addition facts!
It’s a new month! Using our creativity to color our March paper.

Line Time: This week we went back in time and took a look at Ancient Greece and talked about Greek Mythology. The Greek Gods hung out on Mt. 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.
Did they call each other this morning?
