Hope you are all having a great day and working your bodies and minds like these wonderful kiddos!

Some of our “Friday lessons” give the children a great opportunity to practice negotiation and team work. I saw many examples of this work today!

The children in afternoon classes are learning about alliteration 😊 I’ll try to make my blog titles more interesting!

I hope you are all enjoying this amazing, pleasant day!

Hello Parents! I usually try not to disturb the children during lesson time, but a few of our friends at the snack table wanted to see the world through the camera lens!

I hope you all had a wonderful and relaxing weekend–and that you’re taking your allergy medicine or that you’re totally immune to the debilitating effects of cedar!

I hope you all stay warm and snug on this chilly weekend!

Preparing for the Michelangelo art lesson!

…we’re in our warm winter clothing and focusing on our work. Children of this age must have movement incorporated into their learning for the ideal experience. While not every Montessori lesson calls for gross motor skills, the opportunity to cruise the classroom for snack or to choose a new lesson is perfect–but you will view a picture of a friend practing patterning and size discrimination by building a large maze of red rods!

Early morning playtime with the toddlers! A three or four hour work period is not an option for them, so they do extra movement and music!

Hope you’re all warm and snug! We’re having a great time inside and working on a lovely variety of lessons!
