Did You Know?
A strong “chlorine” smell in a pool is actually caused by chloramines, which are formed when chlorine reacts with contaminants like sweat, urine, and oils from swimmers.

Operation Christmas Child:

Peek In Our Week:

He is working on the consonant blends of CH, SH, and TH.
He is completing equations using manipulatives. He looks deep in thought.
The Vowel Tree is a tactile, engaging way to teach and practice decoding words. This manipulative can be used with beginning readers to more advanced readers. Developed initially as a Montessori material, the vowel tree reinforces skills for all learners; tactile learners, auditory learners, and visual learners.

The purpose of the Montessori introduction to decimals is to build a concrete, sensorial understanding of the decimal system and place value, helping children grasp the relationship between units, tens, hundreds, and thousands before moving to abstract symbols. Through hands-on materials like the Golden Beads, children learn the size and hierarchy of number categories and how to exchange one quantity for the next (e.g., 10 units for 1 ten). This is why I tell the students 10 is the magic number, and he is showing us this.
