Thee Buckeye Bulletin

Line Time:

Living and Non-Living:
This week we learned the difference between what is living and what is non-living. We focused on what makes something a living thing. We learned living things reproduce or have offspring and they grow. Living things eat or take in nutrients, breath or exchange gases. The question was posed if plants are living things. They are since they meet all of the above qualifications.

A Word From Mr. John (Blankets):

Cultural Subjects:

Did You Know (The hashtag symbol is technically called an octothorpe.)?:
According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, the “octo-” prefix refers to the eight points on the popular symbol, but the “thorpe” remains a mystery. One theory claims that it comes from the Old English word for “village,” based on the idea that the symbol looks like a village surrounded by eight fields!

He is working on a Language material that matches pictures with the beginning consonant blend.
The Montessori blue consonant matching activity introduces children to consonant blends and digraphs, helping them decode and spell longer phonetic words by blending individual consonant sounds.

She is working on the Teen Board. The purpose of a Montessori Teen Board, also called the Seguin Board, is to help children aged 4-6 understand and connect the quantities and symbols of teen numbers (11-19). It allows children to see that teen numbers are formed by a static “ten” combined with a changing unit (1-9)

He is working on the Knobbed Cylinders found in the Sensorial area. The primary purpose of Montessori Knobbed Cylinders is to develop a child’s visual discrimination of size and hand-eye coordination, helping them to perceive and differentiate dimensions like height and diameter. This sensorial material also refines the child’s perception of dimension, prepares them for math concepts like grading and comparison, and offers a self-correcting activity that builds independence and a sense of accomplishment.

He is working on the Vowel Tree (Vowel Substitution). The Montessori Vowel Tree’s primary purpose is to teach and practice blending, particularly the changing middle vowel sounds in consonant-vowel-consonant (CVC) words, to develop decoding and reading skills in early learners.
