January 16, 2026 – EC East

This week brought us new Science and Geography units! The students began to study Animal Tracks and the science behind different tracks, patterns and habits. Our next Geography unit introduced My School and allows the students to explore their place in a learning environment, match Montessori work and nomenclature, and write about why they love MSBG! At snack, we introduced pouring water using a beautiful glass pitcher and in art, we added tracing a snowflake and painted snowflakes at our easel. In Math, students began studying the cubing chains. This activity teaches the child skip counting which is preparation for multiplication. It also indirectly prepares the child to understand cubing numbers. It is a very big work and requires a lot of concentration and fine motor skills. Our sensorial bell shelves are now open with a new sensory experience-striking a bell. We ended the week using a funnel in practical life and a gustatory experience taste testing different types of bread-rye and cinnamon!
