A Special
Thank-you!
The month
of February is a special month in the Chickadee Classroom. Each year, the
children at the Cornerspring Montessori School celebrate with a new “Country of
Study" unit. This year the Country of Study unit will be on POLAND. This
year we are especially fortunate in the Chickadee Classroom to have two Polish
families in our 3-day classroom.
On Monday, February 3rd the Chickadee Classroom enjoyed two special Polish art
projects with Chris and Kaska Gardner. Kaska Gardner worked with a small group
of children creating special Polish stencil flags made on canvas with acrylic
paints. While Chris Gardner, also worked with each of the children, to create special
white snowflake designs, based on famous Polish scissor cutting techniques.
Thank-you
Kaska and Chris!
On
Wednesday, February 5th the Chickadee Classroom enjoyed a special day of Polish
cooking and folktales. The morning was full of Polish fun as Wiola Shaw worked
with all of the children to create their own special Polish food treat. The
children had fun wearing special cooking aprons, rolling dough with rolling
pins, and topping with strawberries and cream. Yum! We also enjoyed a fun
Polish dragon folktale story and finished with creating our own special dragon
picture.
Thank-you
Wiola!
The
Chickadee Classroom will continue our country of study unit through March and
will be having a special "ART NIGHT" on Friday, March 14th, where
you can view our special Polish inspired creations, and enjoy in a full school
art celebration. (Invitations coming soon)
