Hello families,
We welcomed some cute fluffy friends as the eggs in room 13 hatched! During hatching we observed wet feathers, the egg tooth cracking through the egg and some of the chick's first steps! I loved seeing the pure excitement in student's faces when they got to hold the chicks and name them!

In Social Studies we continued to learn about the prairies. Students sketch noted their ideas as we looked at books and videos.
Students then applied their knowledge of the prairies into art with Ms. Davies. This week we created plants, people and houses for our final collaborative art piece!
Have a wonderful weekend,
Ms. Greenhall

Practical Life
In the month of April, we focused on the Montessori tenet of prepared environment at LBS. A prepared environment can be defined as a meaningfully structured learning space where everything has a purpose and is readily accessible. Here are some simple ways to prepare your home to promote autonomy, exploration, and curiosity. #wearelbs #wearemontessori
