A Month In and Full Swing Ahead!

Recently, I stood in the middle of the Pre-K 2 classroom and watched in wonderment at the sheer joy and focus the children exhibited.  Already a month into the 2009 school year and I can tell it’s going to be an amazing year of learning, sharing and building a classroom community Maria Montessori would be proud of.  There is an eagerness and ferocious appetite for learning new lessons and expanding on the foundation we laid last year.  We couldn’t ask for a better class.

The new pre-K 1 and pre-K 2 division is working wonderfully.  Teacher Mary has created a fantastic classroom environment for integrating the younger children.  Everyone is working toward a rapid normalization and friendly cohesiveness.  Hopefully, all of our parents will have the opportunity to visit and check out the classrooms during our Fall 2009 Open House, Tuesday October 27th at 6:30 pm.  Everyone is welcome and encouraged to meet and greet the teachers as well as other parents!

Please forgive the huge lapse in time since the last blog update.  Yes, there is a giant chunk of the year with many events and interesting childhood experiences not recorded.  This year,  look forward to more timely postings and more daily spotlights from the everyday classroom.  Next up… recap on our very first auction fundraiser, the annual pumpkin patch trip, story time inside a secret “tiger” tent, and a virtual tour of the 2009 classrooms.

Thank you for all your parent interest in the blog.  This is going to be a great year!
