The Fiore School

Rainy days, tiny hands, big discoveries! Some of our toddlers exploring their garden on a rainy day led to some observations of slugs and worms!

Our upper elementary students had a great time on their recent camping trip! They enjoyed team-building activities, cooked their own meals, participated in an aerial obstacle course, canoeing, paddle boarding, and rock climbing. We are always so thrilled to hear about their adventures and continuous connection with nature.

Today is National Great Poetry Reading Day! Did you know poetry is introduced and studied across all ages in the Montessori classroom?

Even children in the infant and toddler communities can engage with rhythm, rhyme, and repetition. As children get older, poetry continues to be integrated into the curriculum across subjects. Poetry is a sensory-rich tool for language development and creative expression.

What are some of your favorite poems?

Spring is full of so many natural wonders and some of our toddler classrooms are observing the life cycle of butterflies! There are excited eyes all around for this very delicate process.

Happy national gardening day from all our gardeners!

All children at Fiore have the opportunity to engage with nature in enriching and valuable ways. They experience the changing seasons and are introduced to the care of plants. We spend time outside in all weather, get our hands dirty, prepare garden beds, plant seeds, harvest fruits and vegetables, and prepare meals with the harvest!

What do you think the kids are planting this Spring? Check back soon to see!

Our junior high students have been working and learning about syrup production and tried their hand at tapping trees on campus. With a little help from our neighbors at the Potomac Vegetable Farm they were able to boil down some sap today and are looking forward to enjoying the results.

Our junior high class has been leaning in to the Spring weather lately! Our carpentry interest group has been hard at work installing sustainably built birdhouses across both school campuses!

Join us on Friday to learn about our beautiful toddler program! It begins at 16 months and leads them to such beautiful independent work that they find fulfilling! Use the link below to RSVP or visit us at fioremontessori.com for other connection opportunities!
