2015/2016 Classroom Wish List
Hello Families!
There are many supplies that we require to keep the classroom running smoothly throughout the school year. I figured an online wish list would be the easiest to keep up with. You do not have to purchase from Amazon, but if it's easier for you to click and send, feel free to use the link posted below. I will keep this list updated as the need arises.
Also, I am adding a second link with a wish list that is Montessori material specific just in case you are feeling even more generous and would like to donate materials to our classroom that will be used for years to come.
Thank you always for your continued support!
Ms. Jazmin

Birthday Walk Around the Sun in Ms. Jazmin's Class
All of the children make a large circle around the sun that
has been placed on the floor. The birthday child stands beside the label
that has their birth month on it. The parent or teacher lights the
candle to signify the moment the child was born. They then begin reading the
life story up until the age of one. At which point, the birthday child
begins the journey walking (slowly) around the sun 1 time, with the globe in
their hands - stopping when they reach their birth month again. While the
birthday child walks, the children in the outer circle sing (to the tune of The
Farmer in the Dell):
The earth goes around the sun,
The earth goes around the sun,
The earth goes around the sun,
and then __________ (insert child's name) was 1!
The reading of the life story continue until the age of two. The birthday child begins to walk around the sun again, and the children in the circle repeat singing the verse, changing the ending to '2'.
This continues on until the child's life story is complete.
Then to complete the celebration the following can be sung to the birthday child (to the tune of Happy Birthday):
We celebrate your birth,
And your place on the Earth,
May the sun, moon, and stars,
Bring you peace where you are!
There are lots of variations to the above celebration that can be used in a school setting. On a more personal note, many families use a Waldorf inspired Birthday Ring ... which makes a beautiful celebration for a child and their family.
