This Week at MES

Nicholas worked on some Montessori activities this week including Color Box, Large Peg Board, and Rice Box (his favorite). He also learned about mirror polishing (I'm going to have to get him helping out around the house more!). He also continued to practice printing letters and improving his cutting skills. The class learned about Bats and "The Bat Lady" came to visit them. She brought a bat with her and Nicholas loved watching it flap its wings. She told stories about bats and had some fake bats for the children to hold. Each child got to bring home a booklet about bats and they even got bat rings! They learned that there are 1000 different species of bats and they have been in existence for 50 million years. The class learned that bats eat 500 bugs per hour. They measured rice grains to guess how many bugs are in a teaspoon. The Good Shepherd lesson was on Samuel.
