A Fabulous Start!
September has been a whirlwind first month! The students have been introduced to myriad concepts and ideas and our new students are adapting to the work and personal development expectations of a Montessori Lower Elementary classroom. We invite our parents to schedule an observation to experience the inspiring dynamic of an educational community. The older children are mentoring the younger students and the community works toward the shared goal of a peaceful environment where a love of learning is fostered and enriched.
Together, we have explored the beginnings of our universe, solar system, and the earth. We have studied what makes the earth special and that it is a living and ever-evolving planet. We shared a hands-on experience, exploring how tectonic plates move around and create different landforms. It’s always amazing to watch the students have a “wow” moment, as they did when they created mountains by colliding plates.
We look forward to more experiences like this as we delve into atoms, matter, and earth forces in October. Please remember, the school will be closed October 27th -31st. Consequently, our last Friday of the month is October 24th, which will be a Dress Down Day.
