We had a Montessori day at school all about numbers. When the kids showed up they were very excited to see that there were all sorts of stations to explore. They strung beads in patterns, matched numbers, learned about shapes, learned about heavier and lighter and played with the number balance.
3 is the same as 3. What will happen if I add one more?
What comes next?
The big shell is heavier than the little shell!
After exploring for a while they all cleaned up the toys, washed their hands and sat down for snack time. They used wonderful manners and politely asked to be excused when they they were finished. All of them cleared their plates without being asked.
Next was circle time. Today we read "One" and "Zero" by Kathery
n Otoshi. They all agreed that Red wasn't very nice to Blue and it was important to be nice to your friends. Counting along with the colors was a lot of fun. After the stories Mr. Eric led all the children in song.
Spin in a circle three times.
Then it was time for the number line game. They were too excited to f
ollow all the rules but they had lots of fun jumping up the number line while counting out loud.
I wondered what Soren meant when he kept saying "Poor Blue was hot." I assume it had something to do with the story you guys read!
