The Week of November 17th

 Weekly Newsletter


Friendship Stew

Thank you for your generous donations of ingredients to help us prepare this special stew. The preparation will begin on Tuesday, and students will enjoy the stew on Thursday afternoon, so all ingredients should be sent to school by Tuesday. Please note that students who usually bring lunch from home should still do so on Thursday, and those who receive school lunch will continue to do so as well.


Festival of Lights

Our students will be performing at the Festival of Lights on December 12th! This is a wonderful opportunity for our children to showcase their musical talents and spread holiday cheer. We hope you can join us for an evening filled with festive songs and joyful celebrations.



Classroom Wishlist 

As we approach the holiday season, we wanted to express our heartfelt gratitude for your continued support and involvement in our classroom community. Your generosity and kindness mean the world to us!

This year, instead of traditional teacher gifts, we kindly ask that you consider contributing to our classroom wishlist. This will help us provide the best learning environment and resources for your children. You can find our wishlist here: Classroom Wishlist. We appreciate your support and wish you a joyful holiday season!



The Learning Community












Literacy Night this Tuesday at 5:30 PM

We are excited that our classroom will be participating in Literacy Night on November 19th from 5:30-6:30 PM. Thank you to all the students who volunteered! Our community will showcase our Montessori word study materials. We look forward to a successful and engaging Literacy Night!










Angel Tree
Our classroom community has chosen an angel to support, and we are collecting monetary donations to make their holiday season special. We will be collecting donations this week only! We encourage students to donate their own money, as it adds a personal touch and teaches the value of giving.

Thank you for helping us spread joy and kindness this holiday season!

Freedom Within Limits

As part of our ongoing efforts to support and enrich your child’s educational journey, we would like to share an insightful article titled “Freedom Within Limits: The Art of Balance in Montessori Education” by Heather White.

This article beautifully explores the Montessori philosophy of balancing freedom and structure in the classroom, a core principle that guides our teaching approach. We believe it will provide valuable insights into how we create an environment that fosters independence, responsibility, and a love for learning in your children. We encourage you to read this article and reflect on how these principles can also be applied at home to support your child’s growth and development.

Thank you for your continued partnership and support.
