Year End Celebration!

The Montessori School
|
|
6:00 PM - 7:00 PM

It’s time to CELEBRATE! The 2011 – 2012 school year is over! For some, primary education is over. For others, lower elementary education is over. And for a special group, Montessori education is over and it’s time for junior high school! Come join our students as they celebrate all they have learned this year. This event is for the whole family and begins at 6pm. The school provides hot dogs, chips, and water as well as a field day on the elementary playground, including bounce-arounds! We will recognize those students completing milestones in their Montessori education and then Upper Elementary students will entertain us with a talent show. It’s an all-out blow-out as we party ‘til the sun goes down.

Then suddenly the courage came to me in this form: there has been much research done and many articles written documenting that the amount of screen time children are exposed to should be limited. I don't need to rewrite all that information. And if you've ignore...

What Children Forgot
|
"In their dealings with children adults do not become egotistic but egocentric. They look upon everything pertaining to a child's soul from their own point of view..."
I finished a book yesterday titled "What Alice Forgot." I found it wildly fascinating. The plot centers around a woman who faints during a workout at the gym and wakes up thinking it is 1...
