In this week’s summer program, we are covering the fascinating topic of Space! We’ve had great discussions about the planets within our solar system, the sun, moon phases, and astronauts, in addition to crafts, activities, songs and games. The two drawings are of Chris Hadfield, the Canadian astronaut!

The children took turns digging holes and delicately placing the flowers in. They learned that they had to cover the roots with soil and diligently water them so that the flowers continue to thrive. We have enjoyed watching the flowers bloom and bring colour and life to the playground.

The Hundred Board is an activity that involves placing 100 white tiles with the numbers 1-100 written on them onto a blue board that is sectioned into 100 squares. Since the blue squares are blank, the child has to place the tiles (which are mixed up) on the appropriate squares until they have achieved the correct sequence. There is a control sheet with numbers for the child to check his/her work or to use as a guide. This is a great activity for children to learn sequence of numbers 1-100, as well as recognizing the numbers that go between 10’s, 20’s and 30’s. One of the activities a child may do afterwards is cutting and gluing numbers or writing the numbers out to make their own hundred board, just as Barrett is doing in the picture.

Horace the Elephant holds a party in the ‘Eleventh Hour’ story for his eleventh birthday, to which he invites his ten best friends to play eleven games and share in a feast that he has prepared. Unfortunately for Horace, someone has eaten the feast before the guests can enjoy the delicious food! It was up to our group of Casa children to decipher the clues and eliminate the suspects!

Sign language has always been an integral part of Montessori philosophy/education. Sign language allows for greater communication, deaf culture awareness and creates strong neurological pathways in the brain (memory, literacy and problem solving).
