Summary - Montessori Development Lesson

It is a summary of our past 3-4 weeks of  the Montessori Lesson.
At the end of October we said Goodbye to two of our lovely kids Pedro and Moe. They are greatly missed. We wish them and their families the best of luck for the future.
Our Diwali celebration was very nice and atmospheric. We got together wit the Day Care group to celebrate with music, dancing and some sweets. We are specially thankful for the beautiful Indian dresses that Natasha's Mom brought in to show the children.

In the past week we have learnt about Autumn. The changes in the weather  and in nature. We sang about the falling leaves and made beautiful leaf rubbings.

Our next theme is going to be Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is celebrated in the US but since we have an international group of kids we try to show them cultural diversity. Thanksgiving gives us a great opportunity to focus on being thankful and also learn some exciting facts about history.

Sumary of the week (from 9th of Nov to 13th of Nov)

This week we learned about pets! On Monday we learned about veterinarians and how they care for our pets when they are sick or hurt by reading a picture book all together.

The following day we read the book, "Just Me and My Puppy", that taught us how we have to take care of our pets at home. On Wednesday we did arts and crafts. Each of the children were able to create their own pet choosing from a dog, cat, fish, or a bunny. The next day we had gym and yoga. Then on Friday we had Show and Tell with our pets. 

Each of the boys and girls brought in a pet stuffed animal from home. Then, during Show and Tell each of the children sat in front of the whole class and showed their pet to everyone. The boys and girls loved speaking about their pets to the whole group. Overall, we had a great week and ended on a very fun filled Friday. 

This coming weeks theme is family. We will be talking about about each other's families and how our families are important to each of us.

The week of October 26-30 the theme was Halloween. The kids especially enjoyed this week making many arts & crafts decorations such as Ghosts jack o lanterns and carving pumpkins.  We also learned new Halloween songs and Friday had a Halloween party where the kids dressed up in some of their favorite characters and were so excited to share their costumes with everyone else. We then went knocking next door saying trick or treat to see whether the kids will receive a treat and they sure did. They all had big smiles on their faces. We ended our Halloween party with some yummy treats after lunch.

The children are now looking forward to a new month with many fun activities planned.

Our new topic that we will also be learning about this coming week is the Five Senses. At the beginning of the week we learned three new songs about the five senses and read a book called "My Five Senses" by Aliki Brandenburg. On Tuesday we did a taste test to experience how we taste with our tongue and discussed that each of us may like or dislike the taste of different types of foods. The foods we tasted during the taste test were lemons, potato chips, and marshmallows. Then, on Wednesday we focused on the sense of hearing by listening to different sounds such as, animals and different forms of transportation. After the children listened to these sounds they then had to state what the sound was they heard. The boys and girls were very excited when they were playing this game individually and together. At the end of the week all of the children had the chance to smell different spices such as cinnamon, rosemary, and ginger. Cinnamon was voted the favorite smell!

 

 

This coming week we will continue to learn about the five senses. We will be focusing on the two senses of seeing and touching. We all are very eager to continue our topic of the five senses!

Kata's Lesson:

Last week we learned about different fruits we eat in the Fall. Grapes,apples and pears. We sang about them, observed them and finally ate them. We looked at the colors, touched the skin and smelled the wonderful Autumn fruits.
At the same time we played with nice and colorful Autmn leaves.
We did lots of crative activities. We made apple trees, leaf drawing with crayons,corck painting and a Fall tree pictures with colorful tissue paper. The children made beautiful a decorative projects.
In the following two weeks we are going to discover the magic of Halloween.

Montessori Development Lesson from 28 th of Sept to 2nd of Oct:

In the past week we have started our new topic which is "The Daily Routine".
We went through all the activities that the kids do during the day. We have learnt songs about our morning routine, bath time and dinner time. There are some new toys on the shelves. The fruit basket is a big hit and we have a new number game as well.

This week we studied numbers. We started the week singing new number songs, singing up to 20 and up to 100. Afterwards we had a number scavenger hunt in the classroom. The next day we presented the red and blue number rods with numbers 1 to 5. Then on Wednesday we did the same but presented the numbers 6 to 10. Thursday, we read the Dr. Seuss book "One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish." At the end of the week we had gym and yoga, as usual. We continued with the ABC's yoga from last week because the children showed a major interest in these certain yoga positions.

Here are a few pictures from this weeks activities! This coming week we will be learning about the Fall season.

 







This week was our ABC week. We did a lot of fun and interactive activities that helped to teach us the alphabet. On Monday we learned the ABC song. Then, on Tuesday we used the traceable letters to spell our names. On Wednesday we had a mystery box with different objects. Each child took a turn picking a object out of the box. Then, the boys and girls had to tell us the name of the object and the first letter the word began with. Thursday, we read the Dr. Seuss ABC book all together. Lastly, on Friday we did ABC yoga and gym.

We had a fantastic week learning the ABC's. Here are a few pictures from this weeks activities. Next week is Numbers Week!

Summary of the third week / DayCare

 

We had a great third week back at school! This week we learned about our feelings. We played games to learn how we can express our feelings such as Simon Says with feelings, feelings with movement, and we had two great discussions about what can happen to us to make us feel a certain way. 

We also read four books that taught us about our emotions. The books were: 

 

My Many Colored Days

By: Dr. Seuss 

When Sophie Gets Angry- Really, Really Angry

By: Molly Bang 

 

I Fell...

By: Tessa Court 

The Feelings Book 

By: Todd Parr 

 

After reading the Dr. Seuss book, My Many Colored Days, we did a follow up class activity. The boys and girls were asked to choose a color that makes them feel happy. After they chose their color they then colored in a figure of a person that is showed throughout the Dr. Seuss book. Here are a few examples of the children's hard work! We found out that not just one color makes us feel happy :) 

 

 

Next week we will be learning about the ABC's! We are all very excited about this topic

Third week / Montessori Development Lesson

Our third week back was very good and active. We have learnt action songs that the children really enjoyed. Often they wanted to sing more during free play time. The children now feel at home and they are familiar with the toys, the other children and with the teachers.
Next week are going to continue with more action songs and more big movement development.

Welcome back to Lotti and Maxim!

We are so happy that we are all back together at school. It is great to see all your familiar faces, but we have some new friends at school too. We are so thrilled to make new friends at school! 

 

During the first week of school we have been getting to know one another better. We have been playing name games and games that teach us about one another. All of the children are very interested about one another and each other's personal interests. 

Also, this week we have been focusing on our listening skills and how to follow instructions when playing games. To practice our listening skills we played an interactive game where a child was blindfolded and had to listen to the sound of another child's voice saying, "Who am I?" Then the child that was blindfolded had to state who the child speaking was. To learn how to follow instructions we played "Simon says." During the game boys and girls had to listen to instructions, and then had to complete an action that was called out by "Simon." Example, "Simon says touch your toes." All children would then touch their toes. Afterwards the older girls in the group took part in giving instructions to the younger children. While taking part in both games the children were very engaged and excited to learn new things. 

On Friday, we have gym and now we will be practicing yoga! The boys and girls are very excited to move their bodies around.

On Kata's Lesson the topic was " My Body" in the past two weeks. The children got familiar with their body parts through many different songs. At the end of the two weeks the children made paper plate faces as a closing part of the topic.

 

They are going to learn action songs next week.

 

We had a wonderful second week back together with everyone and are looking forward to an amazing year.
