Thee Buckeye Bulletin

Line Time:
Living/Non-Living
Living and Non-Living- This week we talked about living and non-living things. Your children now know what makes a living thing. All living things reproduce, grow, eat or take in nutrients, breathe or exchange gases, and need water. We are all in agreement that plants, animals, trees, grass, are living things! My shoe is not a living thing nor am I at 5:00 am. Some of the parents are not living until they have had their coffee. My youngest son’s shoes may or may not be living. I do not get close enough to tell due to the smell and I may have seen them move on their own…. Boys that are 17 years old, SMH.

A Message From Mr. John (Dang Mosquitos):

Fun Fact: (Dang Mosquitos, again)
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention calls mosquitoes the “world’s deadliest animal.” It’s a weighty moniker for an insect that weighs just 2.5 milligrams, but it’s well deserved because vector-borne diseases, including those transmitted by mosquitos, cause more than 700,000 deaths worldwide every year. They are truly evil things.

Trivia: What was the name of the band that visited Gilligan’s Island?

Peek In Our Week:

She is working on the Movable Alphabet. The key purpose of the Moveable Alphabet is to prepare children for writing, reading, and spelling. The child’s use of the material progresses from single words, to phrases, and eventually to stories. In this way, the Moveable Alphabet teaches children how to symbolize their own thoughts, and begin to write creatively.

He is working on a math material named the 9 Tray. The aim of the 9 Layout lesson is **to help children understand number placement (1s, 10s, 100s, 1000s) as well as reiterate the association between quantity and numeral**.

Here is one of my readers. The ability to read is an essential skill, one that children absolutely love to learn. The Montessori-based approach to develop reading skills gives children a solid reading foundation and confidence to read and learn on their own. Children who are read to often are proven to be more successful readers themselves.

They are rolling mats. This will be one of the first activities which we teach 3-6 year old children coming to the Montessori classroom. Rolling and unrolling a mat teaches children patience and how they should be doing stuff for themselves, and not relying on the teachers to roll and unroll a mat for them.
