Our toddler class commenced this week, experiencing the typical challenges and successes expected in a class of two-year-olds. Despite the ups and downs, it has been an overall positive experience. Observing their early enthusiasm and engagement, we are thrilled to anticipate the significant progress these children will make as they embark on their educational journey from such a young age!

Kindergarten students are engaging in an educational activity titled 'Do You Know This Number?' Their enthusiastic participation demonstrates a strong grasp of number recognition, enhancing their foundational mathematical skills! Way to go!

The Montessori Movable Alphabet in action! There are so many great ways to teach a child how to form words, recognize letter patterns (CVC), identify commonalities in word formations, and understand how vowels affect words. It's a valuable tool for both school and home use!

The Lower Elementary students are refining their mathematical skills through focused practice with the Montessori Multiplication & Subtraction Charts. The older students are focused on advanced learning with the Montessori Long Division test tubes which help to enhance their proficiency in two-digit division. Meanwhile, the younger group is mastering the fundamental skill of number writing. Academic excellence is evident throughout the classroom!

Our Preschool friends have amazing math skills! It's impressive considering they've just started school. They are using the Montessori Large Number Layout to sequence numbers from 1 to 1000, and also utilizing Montessori Colored Beads for ordinal numbers 1-9. Some friends are even learning addition and mastering the ten-frame technique. Their teacher, Ms. Megan, is doing a fantastic job!

Preschoolers are working on pumpkin 🎃 art using paint and an apple stamper. I'm excited to see their Halloween artwork next week!

Preschool students are engaging in Halloween-themed activities and art projects, showcasing their creativity and enthusiasm. The owl designs are particularly charming!

It's time for the weather update! Children take on this role with enthusiasm in the classroom, allowing them to develop a comprehensive understanding of the seasons and the various factors influencing our outdoor activities.

The senior group crafted their unique interpretation of a Native American Pottery Design, resulting in this remarkable creation!

In Lower Elementary, Part 2 of our curriculum focused on learning about adjectives. We began with the Montessori Grammar Box, incorporating grammar symbols to construct sentences. Our lessons encompassed nouns and articles, followed by a stimulating class discussion centered around pets and the diverse adjectives used to describe them. Ms. Dina facilitated this session, illustrating two distinct pets, encouraging students to articulate their descriptions using various adjectives. Subsequently, each student independently created their pet drawing, which remained concealed from others. During the descriptive phase, students employed adjectives exclusively to depict their creations. A point was awarded if the class correctly guessed the pet based on the descriptions. Impressively, we accurately identified 9 out of 18 pets. The students exhibited remarkable proficiency in utilizing adjectives, and their artwork was truly delightful.

Kindergarteners are loving creating towers with the sensorial materials. Building their focus and sense of confidence. Eventually they will be able to transfer those skills into more long and complicated tasks.

Fostering imagination and creativity in children is a Montessori essential. Here our friend is using the mystery object bag to create something unique. He said “ That’s a powerline to my house, so my house has electricity.”
Brilliant ✨👏

“The child who has never learned to work by himself, to set goals for his own acts, or to be the master of his own force of will is recognizable in the adult who lets others guide his will and feels a constant need for approval of others.” —Education and Peace, Maria Montessori

Our newest Preschoolers are already doing so amazing adjusting to school! They are reviewing number formations and the vowels this week! 😁👍💖

Ever wonder what it feels like inside a bubble?🫧 🩵 🫧 Today’s bubble making experiment was an exciting group effort. The kids helped mix the special solution, soap, and water together. The bigger the hoola hoop the better the bubble! A lot of WOW faces when the kids would see the bubble rise and pop 😳😆 a lot of fun!

August starts week! See you there 😉

They enjoyed eating these frozen banana yogurt pops outside on a hot day 😋☀️ much better alternative to ice cream. What other healthy treats do you enjoy with your family on a hot summer day?

What are they making here? Start to finish a healthy & yummy Banana Yogurt pops. The kids were part of the whole process from crushing the cereal. To spreading the yogurt and to rolling all the ingredients together onto the banana. Lastly, pop them into the freezer and wala you’ll have these yummy treats!
