Line Time:

Birds:
This week we learned about birds. Of course they are vertebrates and are warm blooded. They are born from hard shelled eggs and have feathers. Most birds fly but some do not. The penguin and Ostrich do not fly and are called flightless birds. Some birds that the students mentioned are Eagles, Parrots, Toucans, and Peacocks.

I thought I saw a puddy cat (which is a mammal).

Cultural Subjects:

Feeding Time (to the tune of Closing Time). The students are curious and fascinated by the dining habits of the animals.

Did You Know (where the term “Baker’s Dozen” (13) originated)?
The term “baker’s dozen” originated in 13th-century England, when laws mandated that bakers sell bread by weight. To avoid severe penalties for selling bread that was slightly underweight, bakers would add an extra loaf to each dozen to ensure they never fell short of the required amount.

Peek In Our Week:

He is working on the Spindle Box. The Montessori spindle box is an early math tool used to help children understand the relationship between a number’s written symbol and its physical quantity. It reinforces concepts of counting, numerical order, and zero, while also helping to develop fine and gross motor skills, eye-hand coordination, and a “muscular impression” of quantity.

This week we leaned about birds. These two matched the bird cards and writing the manes of each bird.

She is working on the Sandpaper Numbers. The purpose of Montessori sandpaper numbers is to teach children the symbols and names of numbers 0 through 9 through a multi-sensory, tactile experience. By tracing the textured numbers, children develop a muscle memory for their shapes, which prepares them for writing and helps them connect the name and the symbol. This foundational material builds a link between the visual shape, the tactile feel, and the auditory name of each number.
