Catching Up!

2011-01-31T17:08:00.000-08:00

No we didn't fall off the face of the earth. The earth was just moving so fast we couldn't catch up. Here are pictures of some "earth stopping" moments from December and January.

Summer has flown by fast and it's time to flutter back in to preschool.

We are so excited about our new school year! Classes are really filling quickly. If you know someone who hasn't made their preschool decision yet, have them call soon! :)

Is there anything cuter?

[no, the caterpillars did not turn into preschool graduates. ;)]

Seriously, we dare you to find something cuter than this:

Congratulations, Class of 2010!

DIY Idea: Clever Art Display Wall

2010-03-11T22:14:00.001-08:00

Because Montessori stresses the importance of well-maintained and respected materials, the manipulatives you find in our classroom are often expensive--ensuring durability from frequent use. But you don't have to buy the most expensive materials to reproduce the ideas and principles behind the activities in our classroom in your own home. In fact, sometimes we don't need the most expensive materials, either.

Take this simple, clever idea that Mrs. Howard ran across in another Montessori classroom: a static arrangement of inexpensive photo mats (easily found at Walmart, Michaels, etc). Simply rotate your child's art behind the mat to display her work proudly and in a way that's both "intentional and beautiful."

So what to do with all that art when it's time to come down? How about a portfolio of carefully-chosen projects to keep?
