Peek In Our Week *** Thee Buckeye Class *** Week Of November 13, 2023

Thee Buckeye Room Bulletin

Line Time:
Native Americans/Thanksgiving- We talked about Native Americans and how Indians were named Indians. On student informed us that Christopher Columbus landed in North America but thought he was in India. Hence, the name. We talked about how Native Americans were indigenous. Then the Pilgrims came over from Europe on a ship called the Mayflower. The pilgrims had a rough go of it at the beginning because they didn’t have enough blankets or food. They could not just go to Target or Giant Eagle to get supplies because at that time there were just woods and wild life.

Food For Thought:
Why are things transported on land called a shipment but things transported by boat called cargo? MIND BLOWN!

Peek In The Classroom:

She is working on the math material called the number rods with numbers. The Number Rods **help children learn the names of numbers, and identify the symbol and their sequence and learn to correctly associate between the spoken number and its quantity**. Children grow to understand that each rod represents a unique quantity and that each number is represented by a single object as a whole, separate from others.

Children love learning about geography while perfecting fine motor skills. She traced the continents and poked (with a large push pin) and placed the continents to the map. Poking improves fine motor skills in toddlers while also getting familiar with the shape and boundaries of each continent.

The Montessori Change Game, also called the Exchange Game, is a classic Montessori math activity. The purpose of the Change Game is to give children the opportunity to experience how small quantity categories can be exchanged for larger quantity categories and still total the same amount. ***Ask your child what the magic number is.***

Cards are placed at the top of the tree and read slowly. Once the first word/nonsense word is read, the card is slid up the trunk reading all the words and deciding if they are real words or not. This material gives the child plenty of work with the changing middle vowel sound that often needs a lot of practice. ***This is a popular pre-reading work.***
