This week has been filled with so much excitement as our classroom experienced two very special events.
First, after weeks of anticipation, our chicken eggs have hatched! The children have been observing the incubator with great care, tracking the days and learning about the life cycle of a chicken. Witnessing the tiny chicks break free from their shells brought joy and amazement to us all. It was a beautiful lesson in patience, responsibility, and the miracle of life.
Adding to the joy, we also welcomed our beloved grandparents and special friends into the classroom. Their presence brought warmth and stories that connected generations. The children were proud to share their work, from bead chains to puzzles to painting – and the grownups’ eyes lit up with curiosity and pride. It was a reminder of the powerful role family and friends play in our children’s learning journeys.
Both moments—the hatching of new life and the gathering of generations—beautifully reflect the heart of Montessori education: nurturing wonder, connection, and lifelong learning.
Have a great weekend!
