Hello Everyone and Welcome Back to the first Scribbles of 2026. We're so happy you've made your way back here after being away for several weeks. So...are you ready to take a peek at our last few weeks? Let's go!!
Practical Life
New in Practical Life - flour sifting, hair styling.
Sensorial
Color Box 3 was presented. The children visually discriminate colors from darkest to lightest.
The children were also presented the small hexagon box. This box introduces the children to trapezoid and rhombus.
Science
Before the break, we discussed 3 things animals do during winter. They migrate, hibernate or adapt.
There was discussion of what animals with and without a backbone are called - vertebrate and invertebrate. A skeleton was presented so the children could visualize the backbone in our bodies.
A fun activity was presented where the children use a magnifying glass to match very small snowflakes to large snowflakes.
Geography
We began a study of the continent of Antarctica. The children learned it is the coldest continent, an island (surrounded by the Southern Ocean) and also considered a desert. They were surprised to know that people don't live there. Scientists go there to research. We also examined animals indigenous to Antarctica, i.e., elephant and crabeater seals, orca whales, emperor and chinstrap penguins. We did a closeup look at emperor penguins and their uniqueness being that the father takes care of the egg until it hatches while the mother is away hunting.
Math
Random
Walk Around the Sun
Just before the break, Nico Gonzales turned 4 and celebrated with the class. Happy 4th Year of Life, Nico!
