Food Groups:
This week we learned about the Food Groups. Grains and Cereals (healthy cereal, pasta, rice, crackers, bread…), vegetables (carrots, broccoli, cabbage, and my favorite eggplant), fruits(blueberries, strawberries, grapes, and my fave mango), protein(beef from cows, pork from pigs, turkey, chicken, lamb, and some beans), dairy is my favorite food group (milk, cheese, yogurt, and we agreed that ice cream is a dairy food). Then there are sweets and treats and eat with discretion. I often wonder why chocolate and pierogies are not there own food group.

A Message From Mr. John (Riding in the “way in the back”):

Cultural Subjects:

September Birthday: A Montessori classroom prides itself on a multi-age classroom. Here is our newest 5 year old.

Did You Know (Kangaroos can not move backwards)?:
Because of their long feet and large tail, kangaroos can’t walk or hop backwards. This is one of the reasons the kangaroo appears on the Australian Coat of Arms, representing a nation that is always moving forward.

Sorting is an activity toddlers begin to enjoy as they enter the sensitive period for order. In a world so big, order gives them a sense of control and comfort. One way toddlers create order is through categorizing, or sorting.

These students are working on the Knobless Cylinders. The Montessori Knobless Cylinders are a Sensorial material designed to refine a child’s visual perception of size, height, and diameter, fostering concentration, fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and logical sequencing. By challenging children to stack and arrange the cylinders into gradations without knobs, the material promotes independence, problem-solving, and a foundational understanding of concepts like tall, short, thick, and thin, which are crucial for future math learning.

They are creating an extension for the Brown Stair and Pink Tower. The purpose of a Montessori extension is to provide children with a deeper, richer, and more creative learning experience by applying the skills and concepts from original Montessori materials to new situations, fostering deeper understanding, critical thinking, and increased engagement. Extensions encourage children to continue using Montessori resources in creative ways, develop imagination, build vocabulary, and connect classroom learning to real-world experiences

She is working on the Color Bead Bars. Montessori color bead bars help children learn and visualize mathematical concepts, such as counting, place value, addition, subtraction, and multiplication, through a multi-sensory approach. Each bar has a consistent color and a number of beads, with the color directly associating to the numerical value to enhance memory and understanding of quantity. This concrete, hands-on method allows children to experience and internalize abstract math facts, building a solid foundation for future mathematical understanding.
