This Week in the Tulip Room

….big anxiety! With the end of the month coming in the middle of the week we decided to put off our month long work plans until Monday and get out some B I G work! Students were very Montessori in their approach to this big work and it made us smile & tear a little at the wonderful humans we get to spend our day with! Some are making a map of the world (countries on continents) and some were re-creating the timeline of life or getting out our BIG timeline of human needs (it’s so interesting to see how our needs have always been the same across the B.C. /A.D. line but the way we meet them is a little different) and others chose to research things they have been hoping to research but didn’t have “time”. All of these ideas were their own and were so big and enjoyable and exhausting…..for them… But we are so happy, lucky and thankful to spend time with these amazing people each day who really do have a desire to learn and grow and be peaceful individuals. Thank you all for this amazing opportunity!

Calendar items: the elementary class is stressing about field trips!!! YIKES! We are currently accepting donations for non-perishable items that we will take to a food bank in Greenwood on November 16th. We figured that each student in our school needs to collect 3 items to meet a 180 item goal by the 15th! Can we do it? YES WE CAN! So please clean out your pantry, ask a neighbor, ask a friend, so we can help make this time thankful for all of us! We also plan to visit the statehouse this month as part of our government studies! Watch out for those dates soon!

No hablo espanol? Me too! But this week we will begin Spanish language studies! I can’t wait!
