One of our teachers pointed out the beautiful Fall colors on the tree through our window. We decided it looked like a painting. Then we found another painting-like view from the “library”. Both photos had to be taken kneeling down. This is what the children see! Loving our windows and Fall.

These smiles say it…
We had such wonderful discussions last week about Martin Luther King Jr. And his dream for the world. It comes so naturally for children to accept differences, embrace equality, and love all creatures in the universe!
One of our Kindergarten students, Sawyer Schlopy, is so excited to be completing the 1000 chain. Sawyer is practicing skip counting, getting a tactile experience with the cube root of 1000, and improving his concentration immensely. Montessori Math makes sense!
