This week we started our studies about the 7 Habits of Happy Kids.  We are exploring what it means to be proactive and how this can help us to be successful.  This is great vocabulary you can start to utilize at home.  We read the book “If You Plant a Seed” and how we can choose to plant seeds of selfishness or seeds of kindness.  We brainstormed what these different “seeds” look and feel like in our classroom environment.  We will be studying all the habits during the coming months and will continue to use the principles and vocabulary throughout the school year.

I am also looking for a few donated items.  If you happen to have an old portable CD player you no longer use, we would love one for the classroom to practice our skip counting songs.  I am also in need of small spray bottles for cleaning tables.

Thank you for sharing your amazing children with us each day.  As always, if you have questions, concerns, or celebrations, please send me an email at my school email bherrera@mariamontessoriacademy.org.
