Circle time dancing!

The classes made play dough by themselves for Messy Art Day. Here are a few pictures of the primary classes enjoying their circle time with playing, singing and dancing! The toddlers have a smaller circle in the morning and afternoon. They enjoyed their outside playtime during this beautiful June morning. 

“Jack in the box, still as a mouse, deep down inside his little dark house. Jack in the box, will you come out?

Yes! I will!




Our special visitor was not able to make his appearance today. We hope to see him and his animals in July!

“We can give a child courage…

…by encouraging his efforts–all efforts need encouragement.”  

–Maria Montessori, 1946 London Lectures

Sometimes the line between encouragement and praise is thin–I would love to talk to all of you about it! Positive Discipline books are a great source for this information.
