Thank you to all the parents who came out for the Mathematical Mindset in Montessori parent forum last night, and to our amazing lead teachers for creating a fantastic presentation with demonstrations of materials!

You can read more about the content of the forum on our blog at BloomingtonMontessori.org, and stay tuned for part 2 of our math work next school year: Mathematical Inquiry.

Thank you to BMS parents Stella, Alex, and Samy and our amazing sixth graders for helping to make the Lotus World Bazaar at Fairview a big success! On Friday, 850 community fourth graders came through the Bloomington Community Orchard/Bloomington Montessori booth to learn about pollination and plant sunflowers for the orchard. It was so busy! Thank you so much to our volunteers! Saturday, the event was open to families throughout the community. The Upper Elementary will be caring for the flats of sunflowers until they are big enough to transplant in the orchard.

Don't forget to stop by the Lotus Bazaar this weekend. Bloomington Montessori is partnering with the Bloomington Community Orchard on a table for the Lotus Bazaar today and tomorrow at Fairview Elementary! The orchard is an organization for whom our students often do service learning projects and that we regularly visit. They are part of the nonprofit network that helps to make Bloomington such a special place!
Our sixth graders have created displays about pollination, created activities for community kids and will be planting sunflowers that will be transplanted into the community orchard. It’s a great event for the whole community, hope to see you there!
