This week brought us new Science and Geography units! In science we began investigating magnets and exploring their invisible magnetic attractions. Students could use different works to test magnetism and explored painting with magnetic materials on the art shelf. Our new 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! String Cheese, our next food preparation lesson, was introduced to practical life. Students practiced using their pincer fingers to pull apart the wrapper, pull off pieces of cheese and eat their prepared snack! In sensorial, lessons on both the triangle box and trinomial cube were given. These abstract works explore various triangle shapes to make a larger triangle, while the trinomial cubes, when fit together, represent the algebraic formula (a + b + c)cubed. We also introduced pennies in a bank to Practical Life and Cutting a Snowflake.
