November 2017

Hope, Love, and Dream Classes

 

November was a busy month with lots of celebrations! Our theme during this time was  ‘Famous Inventors and their Inventions’.

 

 

The students learned about some of the many different inventors, and their inventions. They also got to observe, and make some of the inventions that are still used today!

 

The theme Inventors and Inventions was also continued during the afternoon classes, where students got to learn more about particular inventors, build, and test their inventions, too!

 

 

During this month we continued to learn and practice new Montessori jobs, practice our math, conversation, and handwritting skills.

 

 

  

 

 

 

We had fun in musical English, art, and got to spend some time outside drawing the fall colors, too! 

On Friday November 10^th, we had our annual garage sale. Everyone brought in things they wanted to sell. Before we started, we had a quick lesson and demonstration about the importance of money.  This taught the students about the concept of buying and selling.  Then.... the fun began!

 

 

Unfortunately, due to the earthquakes we were unable to go on our scheduled field trip to the Science Museum on November 15th! However, we will be going next month! We did get to practice our Earthquake safety measures, and evacuation procedure.

November 23^rd was a day for festive celebrations, wonderful art and craft projects, and learning about the history and traditions of American Thanksgiving.

 

 

 

 

We also talked about what we are all thankful for, and enjoyed a big Thanksgiving feast during lunch.
