Summer Fun

Monday was great! We started out watering our beautiful potted plants outside! We got busy inside creating “fireworks”—memories of which were fresh on most of our minds.  We used pink paper, star stickers, and watercolors.  We had circle time and then Montessori work time. In line with our theme of “physics” we investigated magnets! We talked about how they “attract” and “repel” and we’re also able to do fun tricks with them! Like moving magnets even though you can’t the magnet that’s controlling it! During Yoga, we done fun partner poses! Like the “Lizard and Rock.” We practiced listening to each other, being gentle, and having fun using teamwork with a partner! Tuesday was also great! We had our usual morning, and had fun with Ms. Vanessa during yoga!

Wednesday was Show and Tell! Every one showed off something cool! Malik  showed us how to complete a challenging puzzle, Ronav showed off original artwork, and friends demonstrated the use of awesome construction and garbage dumping trucks, using dinosaurs, caring for babies, and reading cool books! We did lots of magnet play during Montessori work time, and then created “magnetic monsters”—super fun and easy! We used strips of magnets, cut them into wacky shapes, each kid got to choose which shape they liked, put googly-eyes on themselves, and chose which glitter colors to use, and sprinkled themselves.

Thursday was an awesome Splash morning!  We poured, mixed, splashed, “showered,” watered plants, cooked soup, went fishing, and more! In the afternoon we had an impromptu lesson on continents, and then played the rainbow game! The afternoon was great! I was sick on Thursday!

Parents,

It’s been so much fun capturing so many of these moments on camera, and I know there are SO MANY pictures up here that sometimes it’s a hassle to wait for all of them to load. I often have trouble with the Weebly website and didn’t have a chance to post all the pictures that I have from the past couple of weeks. I plan on putting these pictures on a small drive and passing it to the class so that you guys can take the drive home and get copies of the pictures if you want them! Love you guys. Please don’t hesitate to add me on Facebook if you want to stay in touch!

LOVE,

Jackie
