Good afternoon Montessori Kindergarten Families,
This
week was filled with art projects that focused on South America and
writing assignments that focused on Government. I am always blown away
by the incredible abilities and talents
I have the privilege of witnessing in the classroom. Students got a
crack at drawing George Washington and The White House - both of which
are on display - and we created Maracas and many have finished their map
of South America. In Math, we are reviewing
length and measurement and we are working on how to find the missing
addends in single digit addition problems. And we celebrated a birthday
and did another one of our amazing cooking adventures. Plus we
officially welcomed two new students into our community.
ONE
MORE THING: the South America projects have been INCREDIBLE! Thank you
for supporting this amazing way to learn and grow in our knowledge of
the world. Please encourage your child
to finish up her/his project to present next week as we are finishing
up our study of South America.
