Did You Know(Fingerprints)?:

Identical twins do not have the same fingerprints. Because of environmental factors that affect their development in the womb. Fingerprints are influenced by both genetics and environmental factors, such as the position of the fetus in the womb, blood pressure, and nutrition. I never thought about this.

A Word From Mr. John(I’m Pooped. Do people still say this?):

A Visitor:

*We had a student from the University of Akron that is going for her teaching degree visit our classroom. These are the children she worked with.*

Another Visitor:

*A mom and son from Panama came to the school to talk about their country* and field3d many good questions. If you are knowledgeable on a country or know someone get ahold of Kelly A.

Peek In Our Week:

She is working on the Trinomial Cube. The primary educational objective of the Trinomial Cube is to teach children to solve a three-dimensional puzzle, representing the trinomial equation, through visual and tactile exploration.

*They are making creations with cubes and squares.*

They completed animal puzzles. One went an extra step and labeled the parts. Montessori Zoology Puzzles encourage a natural curiosity about animals and the environment. By visually and physically interacting with representations of animals, children become more interested in the different species they encounter in everyday life.

Practical life activities in Montessori provide scope and sequence for everyday routines and practices. Practical life in Montessori is purposeful activity, develops motor control and coordination, and develops independence, concentration, and a sense of responsibility. The exercises in practical life cover two main areas of development: care of self, and care of the environment.
