We are happy to celebrate the birthday of one of our wonderful teachers, Rita Ferguson. Her grandchildren joined in the fun. Rita works with our infants in our Nursery.
This Montessori work is called the 100 board. A preschool student organized and placed 100 tiles in order and then wrote each number. This work takes several days to complete and results in a sense of great pride by the student.
Two preschoolers attempt to match the numerals to the red and blue rods. These materials help children understand the value (length) of each rod is represented by a numeral.
Parent volunteers are needed at 3:45 tomorrow (Nov. 14th) to help put out and display table decorations at Hotel Capstone, 320 Paul W. Bryant Drive, for the Thanksgiving Dinner Event starting at 5:00 p.m. Volunteers are also needed to help clear decorations from the tables and pack up at 6:45. Thank you for helping!
