Principal’s Challenge

Good Morning Everyone,

For today’s challenge you will be making something that floats. It can be any shape you want and should be able to float and hold or balance a small, plastic toy on it. Good luck and I hope you enjoy building your floats.

Please use the slides to see more about the challenge and share your creations in the Montessori folder.

Happy Wednesday!

Principal’s Challenge

Good Morning Everyone,

This week’s challenge is to make a meal or dish to eat with your family. I have shared an example meal called 15’s that I made. You can choose to make the same thing I made or you can make something different that you (or someone at home) really likes.

Have fun and I look forward to seeing your dishes. Remember to share a photo (or video) to the folder.

Happy Wednesday!

Earth Day Principal’s Challenge

Good Morning Everyone,

   To celebrate Earth day I would like you to teach us how to plant a seed.

If you are feeling really creative, you could plant a real seed and take photos of all the steps you had to follow. Remember that you do not need to have real soil, but you can use a tissue with some water on it. Once it begins to grow, you might want to move your seed to a garden (or some soil).

Please use the slides to show you an example so that you know what I am looking for.

I look forward to seeing all of your creations and Happy Earth Day

Here is the Montessori Folder for sharing learning

Good Morning Everyone,

Welcome to the Principal’s challenge this week. Please help your child to view the slides to make Salt Dough. They will need some to measure everything and then they can play and model their pieces by themselves.

 

Have fun and I can’t wait to see what everyone makes this week.
