Spanish word of the day- hormiga-ant

Today our friends did sweeping! Sweeping the floor is one of the practical life activities that help children learn the importance of cleanliness and taking care of household chores.

Purpose:
* Direct: to learn the movements needed to manipulate a broom, managing one’s body, the broom, and the spilled material all at the same time.
* Indirect: coordination, independence, and concentration.

Also, our friends learned the letter sound “s”. Some of the words that our friends came up with were “star, sun, and snail.”

Folding is a wonderful Montessori practical life activity that helps in building independence, confidence, and fine motor skills.

It also develops children’s muscular control and provides a lesson in exactness and rigor, laying the foundation for later geometry work.

We learned how to fold using different lines marked on the cloth sheets of material along distinct lines.

The children learned how to fold correctly, tracing down the line, and folding precisely on the line.
