This Week in the Oak Room

What a wonderful week we had!  The transition to full days went very smoothly.  Our older students and those returning from last year were a great help to our new friends.

We covered several lessons on being helpful and kind in the classroom and how we can create a peaceful classroom full of love and care.

Working together and taking turns were popular themes this week as we practiced our roles together in the Oak room community.

In our Science and Geography areas we studied the solar system, the differences between Air, Land and Water and even learned the names of some land forms!

Our peace education this week focused on respect for ourselves, people around us and our classroom environment.  We also had “silence” several times throughout the week.  This is always a favorite activity.

Please Note:

Hopefully all of our families received their child’s “Thursday Folder.” If you have any questions about these or any of our other classroom procedures, please let us know.

Don’t forget to join our CGMS Facebook Group.  This is an excellent way to reconnect and get to know the other Center Grove Montessori families.  We also like to post classroom pictures of the children working and playing, usually several times a week.

Lastly, for your child’s comfort, please bring pillows and blankets for nap that can be left at school without attachment issues. Thanks for your cooperation with this!

Happy Birthday to Dean Katona! He’s five!

Again, thanks for a great first week! We are looking forward to many more.
