Linda’s class made butter by shaking milk for a good long time! And what goes better with butter than fresh baked bread – so Rob, my husband, brought in his fresh-baked rosemary bread and the children had their snack – yum!
Francie’s dad Aaron, a Skratch Labs chef, came in to finish the pumpkin job he’d started in October. With his help, the pumpkin he’d frozen was turned into gnocchi, made by the children. Aaron was so organized and patient with the children it was a joy to see! Thank you Aaron!
A new Tonka truck became a lesson in civic responsibility and voting; should the truck be donated to the Share-a-Gift box or kept for our sandbox? We voted and, almost unanimously, the sandbox won! Iris, Nash and Hank are ready to give the truck its first run in the sand!
The Children’s Annual Thanksgiving Feast was a bountiful success. The tables were arranged end to end so all the children could sit together while they feasted on the goodies they’d made the day before – applesauce, corn muffins, sautéed carrots and gnocchi, of course!
Halloween
It was a crisp and sunny day as families gathered to watch all our MMS students, now princesses, animals, astronauts, super-heros and more, march around the trike path for our annual Halloween Parade. (And actually, the “march” was more like wandering down the path, as they took in all the various characters attending school that day!)
Back to School Nights
In October we had our Back to School nights where children bring their parents to school to show them their favorite lessons. We had a Mom’s night and a Dad’s night and everyone was excited to share and learn about what goes on during a typical day in the life of a Montessori child!
September Family Social with Yonana Bar!
Our first Family Social included our Yonana Bar – delicious ice cream made only with fruit! Children played, parents mingled and everyone enjoyed Yonana ice cream!
