![]() ![]() Thank you to all of our Parents for participating and contributing to our thanksgiving feast. We set our table with place mats, and learned where to place the plate, cup, spoon and fork. We practiced saying “Please”, “Thank You” and “Excuse Me”. To prepare for our feast, we had a lesson on table manners. Our Toddlers really enjoyed their Thanksgiving feast. Our Teachers discussed what they were thankful for and then went around the circle asking the toddlers to name one thing they are thankful for. As we learned about the letter “D” our toddlers were prompted to look around the classroom and find something that starts with the letter “D”. During circle time we discussed the letter D. This helps children to recognize their numbers and also develop their concentration, engagement and fine motor skills. We made a paper plate turkey and numbered its feathers, and then used our skills to clamp the matching number clothespin to the feather. Afterwards, we enjoyed a counting lesson using clothespins. It was exciting watching them identify and classify the product. We identified many different types of produce and then the toddlers separated and sorted the produce into two categories- fruits and vegetables. During our 2nd and 3rd week of the thanksgiving season, we enjoyed talking about different fruits and vegetables. We enjoyed seeing and hearing our pumpkin fizz to the top. Then, our Teachers poured vinegar inside, creating a bubbling and fizzing reaction. The toddlers scooped baking soda and poured it inside of the pumpkin. To end our first week we did a science experiment in a pumpkin. As we read the story, our toddlers passed an item around the circle and practiced sharing. For circle time, we identified our numbers using cards and teddy bear counters.The book we read was called “I Am Sharing”. This lesson helps teach our toddlers how to grasp and grip, it also helps them to be independent, and helps children learn to dress themselves. During our practical life, we engaged with the button dressing frame. ![]() Once we made our handprint turkeys, we wrote a few things we are thankful for. We started with the handprint turkeys, using different color paint for each finger. The toddlers had a busy month with all the amazing activities we did. ![]() November has come to an end, and it was a thankful month. ![]() We are thankful for our little angels, who always add joy to our lives. We learned about the legend of the bluebonnets and on the last day of this month, we prepared a Montessori Thanksgiving Tray by taking a nature walk. Our little artists made their own paper plate dream catchers. The last few days of the month, we focused on the story of Bluebonnets and learned alot about The Native tribes of America. One of the things we enjoyed was putting up our Christmas tree and our classroom decorations. We worked so hard on our Brown bag Gingerbread house. We also started practicing for our Christmas show which was going to happen in the middle of the month. One of their favorite works that we did this month was learning about Santa Claus clothes. All the cards were cut outs of Christmas trees, gingerbread, and snowmen. In the math area they really enjoyed the cards and counters. The practical life work was their favorite because they had bells, Christmas bows, beads and many other colorful holiday shapes. We were all excited for the fun events, the songs, Santa Claus, presents and most importantly the time we will spend with our loved ones.ĭuring the first week of this month the children were introduced to many different practical life, math, and language holiday works. We had lots of fun in the previous months, but our favorite month was most definitely December. January is here and our 2023 year is over. ![]()
