Peek In Our Week *** Thee Buckeye Room *** Week Of 9/1/25 to 9/5/2025

Healthy Habits:
This week we learned about things that keep us healthy. The number one thing is to wash our hands for as long to sing the ABC song washing our palms, fingertips, back of our hands and in between our fingers. We cough and sneeze in side of our elbow. Also, we discovered eating healthy and exercising are great ways to keep healthy. We now know that sleep rests our bodies and mind.

Did You Know (How many hearts does an octopus have)?:
The answer–Octopuses have three hearts, which is partly a consequence of having blue blood. Their two peripheral hearts pump blood through the gills, where it picks up oxygen. A central heart then circulates the oxygenated blood to the rest of the body to provide energy for organs and muscles. Does this mean they are super romantic?

Foreign Languages: 
Your children can now count to ten in 5 languages (English, Latin, Sign Language, Spanish, German).

Specials Spot(ASL):

Our first ASL class and it rocked as you can see by the participation!
He is working on a sorting material found in the Sensorial area. Grouping objects by color, size or shape is a developmental milestone for cognition – which is learning, thinking and problem solving. Sorting and matching things helps develop visual perceptual skills, thinking and memory skills. These important brain skills help with attention and problem-solving.
He is working on Color Box 2 found in the Sensorial area. Look at his concentration (tongue). The primary purpose of the Montessori color tablet box 2 is to develop visual discrimination of color using primary, secondary and tertiary colors. The secondary purpose of this activity is to help the child develop a sense of visual order. It guides the child to take out the colorful tablets from the box and match them.
See how they teamed up to scrub the table tops. The Montessori table washing activity serves both a direct purpose of cleaning and an indirect purpose of developing a child’s coordination, concentration, sense of order, independence, and fine motor skills. 
Reading is an important part of the Montessori curriculum.

George our bearded dragon came out for a visit.
Something was different about him. I asked if he wasn’t wearing his glasses, no. I asked if he shaved his mustache, no. Oh, he got a haircut.
