In our South American studies we have learned about the layers of the rain forest. We have also looked at paintings by the artist Henri Rousseau who loved creating beautiful paintings of rain forests and jungles. Check out some of our rain forest art and collages.

We had such a fun busy week after vacation. The children were so excited to be back. We celebrated the life of Maria Montessori and National Montessori Education Week! We also celebrated the 100th day of school! We made crowns, played games, danced and made a paper chain of 100 links. To top it all off we got to wear our pajamas to school!

🕰️Our Kindergarteners invented something wonderful this week — “Hug Time!”

As we continue learning about telling time, they found the most joyful and spontaneous way to bring attention to the clock. One of the K's carefully made a sign and proudly announced that every time the minute hand lands on the six, it is officially, 'Hug Time!' When the long hand points straight down, we pause, notice the clock, and if we want to, we share a hug with a friend. 💛

What a beautiful way to practice reading the clock — and to practice kindness at the same time. This child-led idea has helped not only the Kindergarteners, but also our three and four year olds become more aware of time passing throughout the day.

It is such a special reminder that in Montessori, learning grows from the children themselves — and sometimes it even comes with a hug!

It certainly has been a cold week. Luckily we were able to get outside a little bit and enjoy the beautiful snow, but we...

It certainly has been a cold week. Luckily we were able to get outside a little bit and enjoy the beautiful snow, but we also kept very busy with many indoor activities. This week we had our first mystery reader, who was a former Libra Montessori student! What a great surprise! We also had a wonderful birthday walk celebration!
