Buckeye Room Bulletin

Line Time:
Just working on International Festival stuff.

Did You Know? (I’m More of a Milky Way guy):
3 Musketeers bars got their name because they used to come with three flavors. The original 3 Musketeers bars of the 1930s came in three-packs, with a different nougat flavor in each: vanilla, chocolate, or strawberry. World War II rations made that triple treat expensive, so the company cut down to one which was the more popular, chocolate.

A Message From Mr. John :

Know Your Languages (Turkish):

Peek In The Classroom:

Children preparing for the International Festival by coloring their African country’s flag.

Kinders working on the Bead Chains. The main purpose of the Bead Cabinet is to help develop children’s knowledge about numbers from the concrete to the abstract. By working with the material, children form a strong understanding of number sequencing, as they learn how to skip count by twos, threes, all the way through to tens.

She has completed the Spindle Box. The spindle boxes have important purposes of reinforcing the idea that the symbols represent certain quantities of separate objects, introducing the concept of zero and its symbol, and reinforcing the sequence of the numerals.

This boy is sorting beads. He has nice e sections with nine colors. He has colors of different shades. Maria Montessori’s sensorial work uses “sorting” in specific ways that work to use all of the child’s senses, one at a time, in order to refine them. The goal is to train the brain to create more organized thoughts and ways of retrieving information.
