Peek In Our Week ||| Thee Buckeye Room ||| Week Of February 6, 2023

Thee Buckeye Room Bulletin

Line Time:
We first learned about George Washington and how he was our first president and was the General of the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War. Our 16th President, Abraham Lincoln came from a poor family, freed the slaves and was president during the Civil War.  We were introduced to Franklin D. Roosevelt and how he was president during World War II and how John F. Kennedy fought for equal rights.  We then learned that Joe Biden was current president. The children were taught that the president’s wives are called the first lady and that the president lives in the white house in Washington DC, and flies on a jet called Air Force 1.  We discussed what responsibilities the President has.  The children came up with keeping us safe, keeping the world safe, and running the country. 

Presidents Of The United States Of America (Wasn’t that a 90’s band? Gunna eat a lot of peaches!)…

Again… Too much TV and radio.

       

   

What’s The Diff? (Supper and Dinner)?
Dinner and supper are both used to refer to the main meal of the day, and especially to that meal as eaten in the evening. Supper is used especially when the meal is an informal one eaten at home, while dinner tends to be the term chosen when the meal is more formal.

Chicken Paprikash with heavy cream, dark meat, no “light stuff” allowed. I am waiting (im)patiently for Ms. Angela to make me this dish!!!!!!!!!

Peek In The Classroom:

She is proudly showing her favorite color as she works on Color Box 2. 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.
She is working on the Sandpaper Numbers. The direct purpose of the Sandpaper Numbers is to teach children the symbols that represent each number, allowing them to visually identify any number from 0 – 9. In Montessori education this is specifically taught separately to counting from 0 – 9, where children often fall back on rote memorisation.
He is working on the Teen Board. The traditional Montessori Teen Board is used to show children how tens and ones make teens; it is a visual and physical application of building numbers to enable understanding.
She is working on 5he Ten Board. Montessori Tens Board with Beads, also called Seguin Board B or Seguin Board 2 teaches a child to associate the quantities and symbols from 10 to 90. Using the Tens Boards, the child explores the number names of the tens and the sequence of numbers 11–99.
