The week of November 12

Parents,

Congrats to Ms. Jess.  She and her family welcomed Baby Emmaline on Saturday. Mom and baby are doing great.  Ms. Jess is planning on returning to school in January after the holidays.  Ms. Kimber will be filling in for Ms. Jess while she is out.  I know a few of you have asked about bringing in a meal.  If you would like to help with that here is a link to sign up https://www.wejoinin.com/sheets/jldlt

If you have any questions please let me know.

This week we will continue talking about beginning with the end in mind as well as talking about the story of the first Thanksgiving.   We will begin our study of North America and be looking at the mountains of North America.  This month we are talking about mammals and since we are talking about the mountains of North America we will be taking a closer look at mountain goats.  We will be continuing our study of roots by talking about some of the roots we eat and we will make root soup (potato soup).

Just a reminder that there is no school the week of the 19th. We hope you enjoy your week off.  Have a fun and safe Thanksgiving break.

Here is your Montessori thought for the week:

“What is Montessori?

As educators we get asked that question often . . .We ask ourselves, What is Montessori? Perhaps we’re asking the wrong question. The idea that there is a ‘Montessori’, one way to respond. . .one magic combination of ingredients that makes our classroom or school ‘real’ separates us from our authentic work.

When we realize that Montessori is a verb, an action and not a thing, we grant ourselves grace to grow”

The Tao of Montessori by Catherine McTamaney

Have a great week.

Ms. Jen & Ms. Jess
