Yet another fun week in the Oak room! These students maintain a level of enthusiasm for their work that is truly fascinating to watch!
We are continuing our study of snakes. We discovered this week that the shortest snake is called a “thread” snake (4” long) and the longest is called a “reticulated python” (20’ long). We measured these two lengths with string during circle and were surprised by the difference.
We also saw several slithery artistic creations…
Very nice Collin and Emery!
Some of our older students started their “number rolls” this week. I’m sure some of our parents have heard a lot about them; they are very popular. This is a reinforcement exercise for practice writing numbers and place value.
Child quote of the week:
Ava Katona: “But that’s not real. It’s make pretend.”
“ The child’s progress does not depend only on his age, but also on being free to look around him.”
