A Peek into Room 4: Week of September 23rd

Happy Fall Y’all! The weather this past weekend was glorious. It made me a bit nostalgic for my North Carolina roots, but after talking to friends, I found out it was warmer there than here over the weekend. I hope you and your families took advantage of the beautiful weather and spent time together outside. Of course, with the weather change, comes allergy and cold season. In class, we have talked a lot about make sure we wash our hands often and to cough into our elbows.

We just finished reading two books. One fiction and one non-fiction. The students really enjoyed The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane by Kate DiCamillo. It is a wonderful story about a china rabbit who, through many adventures, learns how to love. If your child hasn’t talked to you about it at home make sure to ask them about it.  The other book we finished was Born with a Bang, A Story of our Universe. This week, Room 4 will have Maria Montessori’s first Great Lesson, The Coming of our Universe. The lesson is filled with many experiments and told in such a way to peak the students interest about our universe. During this time, we also read and discuss other creation stories from around the world. I’m very excited to include pictures of the activities that the students will create after the first Great Lesson.

Be on the lookout in your emails for a SignUp Genius for our first 9 week conferences. I am truly looking forward to meeting each one of you and discussing your child’s progress.
