Happy New Year

Welcome Back!

January is a fantastic month in my classroom because of the level of the work happening and the excitement of the children.  All of the students know what to do, where to go and how to do it.  Poetry in motion!  Please come and observe this!  If you have not seen what a proper Montessori environment looks like-here is your chance!  You may come any day you like, please schedule a time with me first, for 30 minutes. 

January for the Children

This month, as a group, we are studying the Arctic, Arctic animals and people, snow, the science of color and color mixing, the painter Monet and touching on Martin Luther King, Jr.

Volunteer Hours

The school year is now 1/2 over!  If you don't have at least 5 volunteer hours done, you are behind!  You are required to have 10 per year and this is the first year those hours are being carefully tracked! 

Thank You

I would like to thank all of my fabulous families who contributed to our super fun holiday party!  It was a blast!

Dates
