Hello Parents! 

I hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving. Thank you so much for taking the time out of your busy schedules to attend conferences. Ms. Rose and I were so happy to talk with you about your amazing children.

 November was fun-filled, we created a corn craft that the children brought home and other fall-themed artwork. 

We have now changed to the holiday theme in the classroom. This simply means the shape of the paper on the art shelf is now Christmas Trees, Dreidels, and Reindeer. The items for collaging are color-themed. In one transfer work, the objects are jingle bells. The colors of the trays and bowls are red, white, and green. We will also include Hanukkah craft projects. These projects create new interest to ensure the children choose work that will continue developing and strengthening important skills. 

“Our care of the child should be governed, not by the desire ‘to make him learn things,’ but by the endeavor always to keep burning within him that light which is called the intelligence.”

– Maria Montessori

One of the children’s favorite songs is the ‘Acorn song’.

I’m a little acorn round.

Lying on the cold, cold ground.

Somebody came and stepped on me

Now I’m as cracked as I can be.

I’m a nut!*

I’m a nut!

I’m a nut!

I’m a nut!

I’m a nut!

Fruit tasting.

The first snow.

They are building while using imagination and creativity.

Play is an important part of children’s social, and physical, development.
