It has been five amazing weeks of school so far! In Primary, we focus on creating class communities. While also enhancing our sensorial and practical life skills.
One of the first things we learn is that our classroom is a community and we work together to learn. Community building starts with building relationships through grace and courtesy lessons. For example, greeting a person and addressing a person by name.
In addition to being kind to one another, we work together to take care of our environment (classroom) by exploring practical life. In practical life we learn how to pour beans and water. At breakfast and lunch, prepare a table for a meal and use utensils and open containers. Then, we wash dishes, tables and chairs to reset the learning environment.
Our students are diving into content work, starting with Senorial -- the gateway to science. This work refines the senses to discriminate between sizes, colors, shapes, textures, sounds, and smells! Additionally, many of our primary children have begun spelling, writing, and math operations.
Students participated in their first academic measurements of the year. Pre-Kindergarten children took the CIRCLE measurement and Kindergarten took TX-KEA. These beginning of the year assessments provided a baseline. And, provides guides with an understanding of what we need to do to help our children continue to grow and excel.
The Primary guides are enthralled with our childrens’ excitement and determination each day to learn! We can’t wait to see what all they accomplish this year!
