Week in Action

Classroom 1 – Students are studying Europe – creating a ‘Castle’, trying on Dutch Clogs, and matching Pysanky Eggs. They are exploring a puzzle map of Europe, plants/animals of Europe – living/non-living of Europe, and animals of winter. Some of the shelf work that children were found exploring included characteristics of a reptile, parts of a turtle, dot marker painting, snowflake symmetry, tong transfer, and pouring in practical life.

Classroom 2 – Students in the classroom got a presentation on Europe, the puzzle map of Europe, Birds, and the Characteristics of a bird. They spent the week reviewing lessons, practicing scissor skills, and enjoying some outdoor time.

Classroom 3 – Students in the classroom were engaged in the study of Dinosaurs. They had lessons on types of dinosaurs, story writing, sorting dinosaurs, and using salt water to remove the dinosaur from a frozen state. They also spent their work cycle creating a snowman, and building language-math skills (word-building and number sequence).
