If you’re heading out of town for vacation this weekend, we hope you have a safe and wonderful trip and time with family!

The children used toilet paper rolls cut into fringe to make fireworks today. Some children were excited with this new type of paintbrush and the paint from their fireworks might have exploded on their shirts and placemats a bit!

Marimont will be closed Monday, July 4th. There will be no Splash Day on Tuesday, July 5th.

It was a beautiful Splash Day–a little chilly, but the cool down is a refreshing change 🙂

Please let me know if you have not received your post card about Parent Orientation for next year. We will send out the SignUp Genius link this week!

Hello, dear Parents!

Ms. Jerical cleaned out our library and found several duplicate books. I’ve put these books out on the front benches. Please feel free to take what you like! Thank you. Any book left at the end of the day will be donated.

If you enrolled for the upcoming school year, you should receive a postcard about Parent Orientation very soon! Please let me know if you do not receive one by next week and I will send a card home with your child in their lunchbox–and we’ll check your address on SmartCare! 🙂

This Messy Art Day gives us (teachers) a window into the children’s thought processes. Who dabs the paint to make a star? Who smears the paint? Who mixes the colors in the star and who likes to keep the colors separate? Who focuses or takes their craft very seriously? Who uses this activity for more social engagement? By observing the process children engage in while making art–especially over different kinds of art projects–we learn so much about their social and artistic proclivities, their preferred level of tidiness, their sequencing abilities and preferences, and their levels of patience with themselves.

The weather was perfect for a beautiful and enjoyable Splash Day! The plan of the day seemed to be to devour as much watermelon as humanly possible 🙂

The children were able to eat a delicious sheep snack, make a special headband, and craft their own fluffy sheep! We’re so excited to have Sherlock and Watson at the school.
