September at Marlowe

Our unit this month was all about the human body. We made several projects, and we read many books on the subject.

We also read childhood classics such as Where the Wild Things Are, We're Going on a Bear Hunt, Goodnight Moon, Harold and the Purple Crayon, Caps for Sale, The Day the Crayons Quit, The Sleeping House, and lots of Jamie Lee Curtis and Eric Carl.

We also enjoyed our first Secret Chef of the season.  

One of my favorite parts of September is watching how quickly our newest children adapt to being away from home for the first time. More and more, the teachers are able to fade into the background, and the children are able to work independently.

























We loved seeing you all at this past month's play date at the botanical gardens. The visit was a perfect introduction to this month's theme, learning about the plants around us.

I would also like to give a special thanks to the families who brought us flowers this month! They have really brightened up our classroom, and the children have loved taking care of them.

Back to School!

School is back in session!! We welcomed our older students back into the classroom on the 15th. We packed in a bunch of "big kid lessons" and eased back into the school routine before the remainder of the class joined us on the 20th. We enjoyed art projects every day, lots of outdoor time, and ball games. 

However, the children walked in with work on their mind. Our four- and five-year-olds kept themselves busy with mapmaking, multiplication, division, work with perfect squares and cubes, stacked addition, 100 problem timed drill sheets, labeling, story writing, booklet making, and more!

Our older three-year-olds didn't hold back either. Check out their work below!

We love having so many new friends in our class, and we're excited to spend this year with your children. Have a great Labor Day, and we look forward to seeing you all soon!!
