🚲 Bring Your Bike to School Day was a success!

There was something pretty wonderful about watching our students hop on their bikes, find their balance, navigate the course, cheer one another on, and simply enjoy moving their bodies together.

But in Montessori, we know that movement is never just movement.

Riding a bike asks the two sides of the body to work together, repeatedly crossing and coordinating across the midline. These kinds of bilateral movements help strengthen the coordination between the two sides of the brain and support skills children use every day—balance, body awareness, attention, coordination, and even the physical foundations involved in reading and writing.

In other words… while those legs were pedaling, those brains were working too. 🧠🚲

And none of it would have happened without our wonderful volunteers. Thank you for giving your time, encouraging our riders, helping keep everyone safe, and making a day like this possible for our students.

Strong bodies. Growing brains. Happy kids.
That’s a pretty great day at LOLM!💚

Six weeks in. 🌿

The newness has worn off.
The routines are becoming rhythms.
The children know where things belong, what comes next, and how to move through their day with a little more independence.

And this is when the magic really starts to happen.

We’re seeing longer stretches of concentration. More confidence choosing work. Children returning to lessons they once found difficult. Older students stepping naturally into leadership. Younger students beginning to realize, I can do this myself.

We’re seeing friendships deepen, classroom communities strengthen, and some pretty big academic growth starting to emerge.

The first weeks of school are about building the foundation—learning the environment, establishing routines, practicing grace and courtesy, and finding our place within the community.

Now, six weeks in, we’re hitting our stride.🍂

There is something wonderful about watching children discover the tiniest creatures in our garden—and then carefully create little habitats for them using leaves, sticks, soil, stones, and flowers.

To the children, this is just fun play. But it is also careful observation, creative problem-solving, collaboration, and a growing sense of responsibility for the living world around them.

These small moments remind us that when children are given time in nature, wonder becomes learning—and even the tiniest creature can inspire a very big lesson.

Mrs. Liz is back! Our favorite art teacher ever is back in the classroom this week and starting from the beginning with basic colors and color mixing. The lesson of primary, secondary and tertiary colors never gets old!!!

Last week, our Lower Elementary students (Grades 1–3) went on our first ever “official” field trip. In our community, a field trip is known as a “Going Out” — an important Montessori experience that encourages independence, responsibility, communication, and real-world learning.
Our third-year students helped plan and execute many elements of this trip, including making the initial phone call to the Fort Worth Nature Center & Refuge, designing the flyer that went home to parents, helping organize logistics, and preparing younger students for the experience.
During their time at the refuge, students explored and experienced three different Texas biomes — the forest, the prairie, and the wetlands — observing firsthand how each environment supports different plants, animals, and ecosystems.
One of the highlights of the day was using dip nets in the Trinity River to search for macroinvertebrates, tiny aquatic creatures that can help scientists determine the overall health of a river ecosystem. Students were thrilled to discover and identify living organisms while learning how environmental scientists study water quality in real-world ways.

A special thank you to the parents and teachers who made this going out possible!

This is Montessori learning in action — meaningful, hands-on, student-led, and deeply connected to the environment around us. 🌿

One of the beautiful things about childhood is finding joy in everyday moments.

Each week, our students eagerly wait for the City of Weatherford trash truck crew to pass by — and without fail, they are greeted with honks, waves, and smiles. 🚛👋

Thank you for reminding our children that community helpers matter and that kindness can be found everywhere.

It was a very rainy May Day! And part of our celebration had to be moved inside, but what a wonderful day it was to celebrate spring arrival! We did manage to get a little may pole dancing in before it poured…again.

Much thanks to for the awesome hot dogs and to all of our wonderful family volunteers.

At Live Oak, we follow the child… so when spurs show up for show-and-tell, you know we’re diving in 🤠

Learning all the parts of spurs—right here in a community shaped by cutting horses, ranching families, and a rich cowboy tradition.

Only in Texas!
