Introducing our Geography curriculum was a focus this week in Early Childhood.  Our sandpaper globe was introduced as well as our colored continent globe.  The first puzzle map, the hemisphere map, was demonstrated and introduced the continents and their names.  In Sensorial, students explored our Geometric Solids, teaching visual discrimination of size and also our first unit, exploration of color.

Food Preparation was introduced within our Practical Life area and students had the opportunity to try our first lesson, carrots and hummus! This first  food prep lesson reinforces tonging and spooning while also sampling a delicious snack. Our Metal Inset frames and writing in lentils were added to our writing shelves, both reinforcing hand-eye coordination and strengthening hand muscles.

 

Today, we celebrated International Day of Peace as a school community.  Promoting and raising awareness of the ideals of peace is our primary focus this day. We wore white and light blue and shared our dedication to create a peaceful culture. This is also our kick-off for Peace Pals, a group of multi-age peers meeting once every two weeks from Kindergarten through Middle School.
