Mrs. Doyle: Enjoying the Outdoors!

Posted on by Michelle Doyle

“There must be provision for the child to have contact with nature; to understand and appreciate the order, the harmony and the beauty in nature,”- Maria Montessori 

Every day your children spend time learning, working together, and exploring our natural playground. Daily outdoor learning helps to develop healthy, active lifestyles and routines for the children, while providing them with hands-on experiences in our natural world. Our beautiful natural playground provides unique experiences to stimulate the children’s creativity and contribute to their appreciation of nature.

Helping children develop an appreciation for the outdoors is one of the significant benefits of regular outdoor play. The outside world is full of beautiful sounds, sights, textures, and life. Exposing children early on to the beauty of the world around them can be the perfect way to boost the aesthetic development of a child, allowing them to be more aware of all the beauty around them.

Here’s to rising temperatures, longer days, and the opportunity to spend extra time exploring the outdoors!

Being outdoors ignites a unique excitement and curiosity in children that cannot be replicated in the classroom (unknown).

Mrs. Semmah: The Future is So Bright We Need Shades

Posted on by Kaoutar Semmah

It’s always a little startling to realize that the end of the school year is quickly approaching. May is an amazing month because we look back to see all that we have accomplished and take stock of what we have left to do. Each child’s learning at this point is very much cumulative and continues to build upon all of the skills that have been mastered since August. A perfect example of this is the kindergarten animal research project the children have been working on for several weeks. We start this project in late spring because we need a foundation of reading, writing, geography, science, and even math in order to be successful. I was ‘interviewing’ the kindergartners for the About The Author section of their books, and, as typically happens, several other children quickly wanted to be interviewed and share their future career aspirations. Their answers are sure to brighten everyone’s day.

Simone:  I would like to be a ballerina, an ice cream girl, and a nurse.

Jonathan: firefighter because I would like to fight a fire and a swimming teacher.

Ella: a veterinarian because I would like to take care of every animal. 

Ruscher: a construction worker and a singer.

Soren: I would like to run a circus and be a scientist. 

Casey: a veterinarian because I would like to help all my favorite animals. 

Levi: I would like to be an astronaut and also a scientist that connects Dinosaurs’ bones.

Elsie: Ice skating teacher

Charlotte:  a ballerina and a doctor

Carter: a firefighter and an astronaut because I would like to go to Venus and Neptune. 

Remington: I like to be a firefighter and a swimming teacher. 

Lemon: a chef because I love to cook food. 

Lucia: a ballerina, a mom, and a horseback rider. 

Oliver: a monster truck driver. 

Savina: a ballerina,  a swimming teacher, and a music teacher.

David: I want to own a restaurant, and I would like to be an artist and a music teacher. 

Katie: dog trainer because I have three dogs, and one barks all the time, and I don’t like that. 

 Wishing you all a week filled with peace and love!
