October 2017

Hope, Love and Dream Classes

October was here before we knew it.  We started the month with a long Chusuk vacation.  We hope you had a great Thanksgiving!



The change in month brought with it a change of season, Fall.  This was a great time to explain the change in weather that was occurring all around us. That being said, our theme for October was the weather.



The students learned about the different types of weather, cloud formations, and the water cycle.  We also continued the theme of “the weather”, during the afternoon classes, 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, and art, too!



 
On October 11th, we went on our monthly field trip to Yeonil Children's Traffic Land.

  



Here, we learned about road safety,

 
 
 
 

 

Got a chance to drive a Gokart around a driving course, and have a yummy picnic lunch, too!






On October 31st, we celebrated Charlie's 7th birthday.

Happy birthday Charlie.





On the same day, all three classes celebrated Halloween together.



The students dressed up in their costumes, explained what character they were, and then had the chance to walk through the spooky haunted house in Hope classroom. There were a lot of yummy treats for those Trick or Treaters, too!

September 2017

Hope, Love and Dream Classes

September was the start of  a very busy month here at SEM.  Not only was it the start of our second semester, but we also said goodbye to Miss Ana, made some new friends, and celebrated a lot of birthdays, too!



 
Our theme for September was landforms. All three classes looked at different structures like Volcanoes, Mountains, Valleys, and islands, and how they are formed.
 


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




 
We also had fun in musical English.
 



 
and art class, too!


 




 
 
We also welcomed new students to Dream class, and spent September getting to know them.

For our field trip this month we went to Hwanhro Haemagae Park, on Friday, September 29th.  It was a great day. The sun was shining and the sky was very clear. We could see a lot of different landforms like mountains, a river, a bay, hills and the ocean, too!

 
Hope and Love class went hiking.  We took the mountain trail to the top, where we were able to then look out of the observitory to see all of the landforms around us.  While Dream class drew pictures of different landforms.
