Peek In Our Week @@@ Mr. John's Classroom @@@ Week of March 2, 2020

Line Time:
The month started off by going back in time and studying the Ancient Romans. The Ancient Romans had similar Gods as the Ancient Greeks. The king of all Gods in Rome was Jupiter and his wife Juno who was the Goddess of Marriage and childbirth. Pluto was the God of the Underworld, Venus was the Goddess of Love, Neptune was the God of the Seas, and finally we came across the God of War, Mars. Did you notice that a lot of these Gods had planets named after them?

Peek In The Classroom:

Practical Life was developed by Maria Montessori to assist in developing OCCI (Order, Concentration, Coordination, Independence). Practical Life is simply activities suitable for a child that allows the ability to work with a purpose or in a purposeful way to accomplish developing skills. She is grating a bar of soap and the next step is to WHISK it creating bubbles.

The colored beads representing each number between 1 and 9. Once put in order he will match the appropriate number to the number of the bead furthering the correspondence between quantity and symbol.

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.

Metal Inset work can help the child to grip and hold the pencil (and hold the pencil upright), refine hand control to steady the pencil, develop movements of straight and curved lines, in preparation for letter formation or a continual line which can assist with cursive.
