Hello Fall with Ms. Mollie’s Class

Hello Fall

This week has been a week of exploration, observation, and enjoying the fall weather. We have been enjoying the cool but warm days on the playground, collecting different colored leaves, and watching leaves fall from the trees.  Our bird feeder on our window outside the classroom is one of our greatest joys; the children are so excited when a bird comes to the feeder, sometimes scaring the bird away with pure excitement. The black-capped chickadee is by far a favorite. The children are now in the natural rhythm of coming into school; the tears that we once had are now replaced with giggles and the “why” of the day. At this age, the children are so inquisitive, asking “Why?” the beauty of Montessori is that instead of brushing off the question, we take our time and explain and encourage more exploration. It has been a wonderful week with your children, and I  feel so lucky to be with them each day!

With full hearts,

Ms. Mollie and Ms. Lizette

We look forward to seeing you at Parent-Teacher Conferences on October 25. Please sign up for your conference here.

Ms. Mollie: Day by Day

The saying, “We take it day by day,” is the most accurate word ever said about a Montessori Toddler Classroom. Our “Phase In” process has been wonderful, it is a time that we create bonds, build trust and create boundaries for the children. Each day is a new day of learning, observing, and playing. We do have some tears sprinkled in here and there, but within seconds, the tears are dried, and they are ready to explore again. Ms. Lizette and I are so thankful each day that you are sharing your children with us. We enjoy watching them learning and growing, and we cannot wait to see where the year takes us!

As we say in our classroom, See ya Later, Alligator!
