Week 3/4

We are continuing to learn the routines and expectations for our classroom!  We have been working on learning to complete a "work cycle," which is an important component of the Montessori classroom.  Check out our work cycle steps:

Talk with your child about how he/she completes these steps:

1. Choose a work

2. Get the work

3. Do the work

4. Check the work

5. Put the work away

6. Clean your work space

And repeat!

Talk with your child about how he/she has been choosing works in the classroom.  You might ask:

1. What is your favorite work?

2. What works do you like doing over and over?

3. Have you tried any new works this week?

4. What works seems challenging to you?

Check out some of our new works:

Solar System 3-Part Cards

4 Seasons Activities Sort

Life Cycle of an Apple
