Grow Montessori School

Thank you to all the families who came to our Parent Soirée! It was wonderful having so many parents come and show support.

The children were so excited to share their classroom, their lessons, and their accomplishments with you. It was lovely to watch the way in which they led and instructed you through their work - such pride, confidence, and joy! 🙂

As Maria Montessori said:

“Sometimes very small children in a proper environment develop a skill and exactness in their work that can only surprise us.”

“In the child is much knowledge, much wisdom. If we do not profit from it, it is only because of neglect on our part to become humble and to see the wonder of this soul and learn what the child can teach.”

A great video on the recent study proving the benefits of Montessori, and especially the importance of that kindergarten year!

Today, the infants were introduced to a few Chanukah traditions. They began with a story about the holiday and mindfully placed the candles into the menorah. Once all the candles were in, the children observed Ms. Margo as she lit them. The dreidel was then introduced and immediately sparked lots of curiosity. The lesson concluded with a snack of latkes and applesauce. Our Nido class loved exploring the different textures and flavors, making it one of their most enjoyed sensory experiences so far this year.

We would like to thank our donors, Derrick Jordan and Matt Schnall, for their generosity!

Chokma!

Our Chickasaw celebration was a great success 🙂

All through November, the Primary children explored the history and living culture of the Chickasaw Nation. Our study culminated with our celebration on Friday, where the children got to participate in keeping the Chickasaw culture alive! Getting to engage hands-on with all they've been learning, the children tied corn husk dolls, made stomp dance shakers, painted gourds, glued beads in a geometric pattern inspired by beaded collars, and joined together for the stomp dance in a Chickasaw Friendship Circle with classmates and families.

The children made Three Sisters Stew in class, and Grow families cooked up additional traditional Chickasaw recipes. The children enthusiastically enjoyed a shared meal of the stew, pashofa, grape dumplings, molasses bread, and of course the famous fry bread!

We are grateful to the many parents who helped make this event so rich and immersive. Your support created a truly impactful cultural experience for the children.

A special thank you goes to our Chickasaw family for so eagerly offering to share their heritage with us. Without your guidance, hosting such a full and authentic event would not have been possible! Thank you for contributing not only your knowledge and pride, but your time and talents: lending traditional cultural items, presenting traditional Chickasaw stories and art, and leading us in the Friendship Circle dance. You really made our first celebration of a Southeastern Indigenous nation so connected and meaningful.

Chokma'shki to everyone involved. We are deeply grateful for your support in helping our students grow as citizens of the world!

Thank you to our class parents who helped out with our Fall Planting day! Our garden looks beautiful and the children had a great time harvesting our summer crop and planting our winter garden.

Then, on Friday, the children made (and ate!) a delicious pesto with the fresh basil!

On (December 2, 2025), you too can help us grow! Your contribution sustains these hands-on learning experiences and this nurturing environment for our children to thrive 🙂
