Happy New Year!!!!
Welcome Back! We hope everyone enjoyed their Winter Break! All of our toddlets in Toddler Room 1 were ecstatic to see their teachers and their friends! This week our letter was P. The toddlers completed a lot of activities that focused on the letter P. We painted the letter P with Pom Poms and Panko bread […]
Welcome back!
Three days into the new school year and we are already right back into the swing of things… But first I want to take a look back and share some of our holiday memories. On the last day before winter break, (the ever popular “pajama day”) we only had two friends show up for school […]

Birds Need Homes
As well as being obsessed with snakes and alligators, our class has a special interest in birds. We all can identify the mockingbirds who visit our playground, but we also spend plenty of time looking through our bird field guide, our National Geographic bird book and talking about owls. Last week, we read Owls Live […]
Living Things Need Food

Herbivore, carnivore and omnivore is one of the easiest concepts for our students to pick up and remember. Some […]
Living Things Need Water

This week we read about life in a pond, a book about alligators because our class is obsessed with alligators and two books about the water cycle on earth. Some of our students preferred the realistic watercolor […]
Decorations and Celebrations
Last week in CH 1-2 we focused on the letter K. We worked with the Montessori sandpaper letters, talked about words that start with k and focused kangaroos. Some of the fun things we learned about kangaroos are that they cannot walk backwards, the babies are called joeys or as a few of us like […]
Counting down to the Holidays
Last week Miss Hayley was out and the lovely Miss Kendalyn stepped in and taught the kids all about thanksgiving, did many crafts and overall had a blast at Montessori! This week is the first week of the month where CH 1 -2 focuses on math. We used the abacus and frosted mini wheats to […]
A Short, But Busy Week

But that hasn’t kept us from working hard and enjoying every minute. We’re in the middle of assessments in preparation for parent teacher conferences this […]
