More Sharing Time Delights

In April, I wrote a blog post about our Sharing Time (Sharing Time ~ A Yoga Presentation).  The post touched on how the Montessori Method helps children develop self-confidence and respect for one another.  The Montessori casa (preschool) classroom is also unique in that the teacher is not the centre of the classroom universe.  S/he does not hold the key to all knowledge.  The children and teachers in a Montessori classroom are working and learning together. Everyone is a teacher.

Here are here are more of our last school year's delightful Sharing Time presentations.

Making Butterflies

L., who recently turned five, brought in a lovely butterfly book and showed her classmates how to make clothes peg butterflies.

Learning Cantonese

Six year old K. and her little sister K. taught their classmates how to count to ten in Cantonese.

 

Contemporary Dance

Six year old P. performed a contemporary dance routine. Following the routine, he taught his fellow classmates some dance steps.

A Gymnastics Class

Five and a half year old E. put on a gymnastics class for her fellow classmates.  She also taught us some Hindi.

   

A Hockey Skills Demonstration

Five and a half year old M. is a great hockey player.  He taught us some hockey skills.

An Arts and Crafts Demonstration

Five year old I. showed us how to make creatures, real and imaginary, using a few simple craft items.

We look forward to the delights that our next school year will bring.

Abracadabra ~ Our Last Day

On our last day of school, we invited magician Scott Dietrich to come to our school.  This was Scott's second visit to our school and he was so happy to be visiting with us again!  We were happy to see him too.

We thought Scott was very funny!

Scott needed some children to help him with his card trick. There were many volunteers.

P. and M. helping Scott with a card trick.

The card is split in two.

Magically, the other half is found and the card is put back together.

K. helps Scott turn a regular sponge into Sponge Bob but the magic bag has a hole in it!

J. and E. help Scott change a white scarf into a black scarf.

M. and Scott both place a tissue in their mouths.

Look what happens to Scott's tissue!

M. helps Scott with a card shark.

Next, something comes out of Scott's hat.  It is Sir Walken, Scott's bunny!

Who wants to pet Sir Walken?  We do!

  

Here we are with Sir Walken.

Mac and Cheese made friends with Sir Walken.
