Thee Buckeye Bulletin

Line Time:

Insects, Arachnids, Invertebrates:
This week we explored insects which have a head, thorax and abdomen, 6 legs and two antennae. Now sing to the tune of “head, shoulders, knees, and toes….. head, thorax, abdomen. six legs and two antennae. You get the gist. Some insects are ants, flies, and butterflies. Then looked at arachnids which has a head, abdomen, and eight legs. Some arachnids are spiders, ticks, and scorpions. Both insects and arachnids are invertebrates. Other invertebrates include, worms, snails, and jelly fish. *** Side note… All bugs are insects but not all insects are bugs!

A Word From Mr. John (To chew or not to chew):

An Alumna Visitor:

*She was a student of AMMS about 16 years ago and is now pursuing her degree education at the University of Akron. She came back to observe my classroom for one of her classes.*

Cultural Subjects:

Did You Know (Neck Tie) ?
The modern necktie originated in France in the 17th century, inspired by the neckerchiefs worn by Croatian mercenaries during the Thirty Years’ War. These Croatian soldiers tied colorful cloths around their necks to hold their uniforms together, and the French were so taken with the style that King Louis XIII adopted it, naming it the “cravat” after the French word for Croat, “la Croate”. The cravat quickly became a fashion statement and evolved over time into the modern necktie.

Some useless information. *When working in the business world I owned more than 100 ties.*

She is working on matching consonant blend (beginning sound) to the appropriate picture. The purpose of a Montessori consonant blend picture matching activity is to build phonemic awareness and reinforce phonetic reading skills by teaching children to recognize and associate consonant blends with corresponding images. Children match picture cards to the isolated blends or to word cards, helping them understand that each letter in a blend retains its sound.

*My kindergarten students volunteer every day to clean the tables after lunch. One sprays while the other dries. Great teamwork they came up with by themselves.*

She is working on language Three Part Cards. The aim of Montessori three-part cards primarily build vocabulary by teaching children the names of things through a hands-on, self-correcting process.
