Solid Foundations Montessori School

Promised Land’s main focus this week was on Venezuela and the continent of South America. Students worked on identifying South American flags, naming animals from the continent and learned about Venezuelan food. They ended the week by making a Venezuelan beverage called, Batido.

May was full of learning, laughter, and special memories in our Green Pastures. We explored the life cycle of frogs through miniature frogs and display cards. We had fun learning through circle time, art, songs, outdoor play and exploring sensory bin.

This week Grace Land started learning all about Bugs! Our seasonal shelf was changed over and had a variety of different bug activities! We started learning some of the different bug life cycles like the lifecycle of a butterfly, lady bug and ant! For our craft we made a firefly. This carried on into outside recess where we were busy looking for bugs!

We are excited to continue learning about bugs!

Grace Land spent two weeks learning about the country of Egypt! We learned about the importance of the Nile river, crocodiles, the desert and PYRAMIDS! We learned that pyramids are made out of stone bricks and are really big! Here are a few pictures from our pyramid craft!

This week, Promised Land made use of the nice weather and had a lot of fun playing with the outdoor toys. They started gardening by planting carrots and beets. We have been very fortunate to have a Robin’s nest in our playground and Promised Land has been keeping a close eye on it trying their best to keep the eggs safe.

This week, Green Pastures enjoyed exploring nature and learning about plants, flowers, trees , the life cycle of frogs and different tools through circle time discussions, songs and hands-on activities. We practiced identifying tools such as hammers, wrenches and pliers while talking about how tools help people build and fix things safely. We identified different parts of plants and shared our ideas with friends. We enjoyed outdoor play, sensory experiences and creative art activities that supported our curiosity and social skills. It was wonderful to see everyone participating, learning and having fun together throughout the week.
