Hello Families!
We had a great week in Room 16!
This week was Waste Reduction Week and as a class we explored textile waste and e-waste. We were all very engaged and very shocked about what we learned about how textiles and e-waste affect our planet and the health of people and animals. We identified the issues, the solutions, and brainstorms take action plans, so we can make a difference.
Today, we got to dismantle different items of e-waste and look at all the different part in different electronics. We found so many cool things and were even able to identify some of them and their functions.
PJ day and Bring Your Own Tea Day was a success! We made it through the day with no spilling or burning and have some new found tea lovers! On Fridays, moving forward, we can bring our own tea. Making and hosting tea is connected to practical life Montessori practices and is a great skill to demonstrate grace, courtesy, and gratitude.
We had some amazing weather on Thursday, so we played a class favourite, Capture the Pig/Chicken. It was so nice to get outside and enjoy the sunny weather.
Pumpkin Carving
We thought we would take advantage of the dark morning and carve some pumpkins which is a fun introduction and way to learn about symmetry. We will be planning our pumpkins design on Monday and Tuesday will be carving our pumpkins. If you have any extra carving utensils, can you please send them on Monday and Tuesday. We will wash them and return them to you Tuesday after school.
Have a wonderful weekend!
