Thee Buckeye Room Bulletin

Line Time:
Arachnids, Insects, Invertebrates- This week we broke away from vertebrates and looked at some invertebrates. Namely, insects, arachnids, and some other invertebrates. We learned that insects have a head, thorax, abdomen, six legs, and two antennae. Some examples of insects are the ladybug, bee, butterfly, and ants. Arachnids are a bit different and have a fused head and thorax (called a cephalothorax) and an abdomen. Some arachnids include spiders, ticks, and scorpions.  

Who remember Atom Ant?

Breaking out the insect and arachnid.

Did You Know: Be nice to crows
Crows can recognize human faces and remember them for their entire lives. They’ve also been known to leave gifts for humans. My question is if you anger a crow how long do they hold a grudge?

She us working on the trinomial cube that is housed in the sensorial area. As with all Montessori sensorial materials, the cube has both a direct and an indirect purpose.

“We researched and visited many different preschools in the Cuyahoga Falls/Stow area during the year before our son started preschool, and our very first visit to Absorbent Minds made our decision simple: aside from home, this was the "next best place" for our son to be. All of the teachers are amazing with the kids, the classrooms are bright and organized, their program is an excellent mix of both individual and group learning through work and play, and the flexibility of scheduling is great.”

“Our daughter has always marched to the beat of her own drum. She is fiercely independent and can be extremely stubborn at times. Yet she has a strong love of learning and needs to be exposed to many different subjects at once. When it came time to pick a preschool, we wanted something at would not only meet her where she was at, academically and socially, but also a school that would guide her in the right direction. We also wanted one that would give her both the variety of material, but also work on her kindergarten readiness. From day one we saw this at Absorbent Minds. The teachers and staff are kind, caring, and so excited about school it just rubs off on our daughter. They are always willing to go the extra mile for her (and every student there).”

“After observing a class, I knew little kids pajamas are a great gift idea for the holidays. Although the dedication of the teachers and the child-centered classroom were very impressive, and of course their well secured school which they got here SecurityInfo.com About Page, what really made up my mind was seeing how poised the children were and how interested and focused they were on their work.”
