Hello families, This week, we began working on a collaborative art project for the upcoming MAPPS fundraiser. Each class at LBS, along with our sister Montessori schools, is contributing a unique piece that will be auctioned off during Captain John Palliser’s Peace Night on April 24th. Our class is using this project as a way to wrap up our exploration of the prairie ecosystem. Students visited the Kainai Plant Index website to research and select 1–2 plants to feature on their individual Jenga tiles. I’m looking forward to seeing how their designs come together! For more details about the MAPPS Peace Night and how to attend, please check the end of my blog.

This activity also tied into our financial literacy curriculum, helping students understand the value of money and how to manage it wisely. Additionally, we connected the project to our wellness curriculum by exploring whole and processed foods, challenging students to include a balance of both in their purchases.

This is a great material to use before moving into standard algorithm (stacking) and supports the understanding of number value using manipulatives. It is also an excellent material to learn regrouping with!
