Over the many months of attending school, the children have blossomed into their own person, each with their own individual personalities, interests, and attributes. Still, they have grown into a community of learners who love working, socializing, eating, playing, and napping together! We have become our own wonderful community where we feel safe, nurtured, and loved by one another! Instead of hitting, pushing, and screaming, we work on using our ‘Kind Words’ and ‘Helping Hands’. We especially love the time of day when we come together to sing, “I Think You’re Wonderful”, “March for Peace”, and our “Thankful Song”. Speaking of community, I hope everyone who could attend, had a wonderful time at the Spring Festival!
Happy Birthday to Lucille. We enjoyed celebrating Lucille turning three with chocolate chip muffins and cantaloupe!
” I have seen that children can do much for the community. 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 children can teach.” Maria Montessori
Maria Montessori also said, ” Education is a partnership. It takes well-trained instructors, Inspirational leaders, participatory family members, and engaged communities to work alongside one another in support of the children.
