This Week in the Tulip Room

What a great week! This is our first year to have such a full classroom and to have so many grades, ages, levels and abilities! Whew! We are still figuring out how all this works with finally having the entire age range! But it’s a true testament to Montessori’s vision when we see them able to teach each other, work ahead, work in groups or alone, as well as have a say in their education, and do all this while learning to be peaceful, confident individuals. These people are awesome!

With the beginning of school each year, we also revisit the beginning! We tell creation stories, invent our own stories, work on constellations, planets, stars, galaxies and the birth and death of a star. I love this time! The new ones see awesome new lessons and the ones who have seen it before have a chance to delve deeper into this information.

Next week we will begin the timeline of life! We will also begin spelling tests! Yeah!

Beginning in the month of September we have organized homework for the 4th,5th & 6th year students, but everyone is welcome to join! Please let us know or have your child let us know if they would be interested in joining in on the homework challenge!

If you are having difficulty accessing Montessori compass please let us know as well! I hope you are enjoying it as much as we are!
