Hello parents and thank you for visiting our blog!
This week’s quote:
“We cannot create observers by saying ‘observe,’ but by giving them the power and the means for this observation and these means are procured through education of the senses”.
Maria Montessori
On Monday, April 22nd we celebrated Earth Day with lots of cool projects the children made using recyclable items. They especially enjoyed making a book- holder using recycled cereal boxes they brought from home. Thank you to our volunteers, Cathy and Trista for your help throughout the morning.

This week Ms. Lina brought the culture of Bolivia to our classroom and shared a musical slideshow of pictures related to Bolivia. The pictures consisted of music, food, animals, landmarks, celebrations, and clothing.
Reading buddies relationships:
Through the past 7 months, the children have been sharing books together with their “reading buddy” every Friday. The relationships that are built throughout the year are so special, and to see the older students sharing thoughts and encouraging conversations with the younger ones is something to be proud of. It’s amazing to share in this experience.
