This Week in the Oak Room

Wow! Our first week of full day classes went beautifully. All of our students adjusted so well to the new schedule and transitions. This is such a big change at their age, I am so proud at how well they have all embraced their Montessori environment.

It was all about planets this week in the Oak room. We learned a new solar system song and discovered where our planet lives among its “neighbors.” What a great geography lesson!

Shadows are everywhere! Our science area is featuring study of shadows and what needs to happen for them to appear, change shape and size. Last week we traced our shadows in the parking lot. Some students had some very interesting poses.

Thanks to all for making the drop off and pick up so efficient. It helps so much with the parking as well as with the child’s transition from your arms to their classroom.

A note: We would like all of our students to have a water bottle available to store outside for these hot days. If you have an extra that can stay at school, that would be helpful. Thank you.

Our student quote of the week:

“You do the Humpty Dumpty and you turn yourself around…that’s what it’s all about.”- Shriya’s lyrics for the song “Hokey Pokey.”

Have an enjoyable holiday weekend!
