🌳 🌍 Happy Earth Day! 🌎 🌱 Today we celebrated the greatest planet in our solar system by being conscious of using light and water. We also made self portraits using recycled materials, checked some things off of our Earth day bucket list, watered our veggies in the garden, bird watched and hugged all 15 trees on our playground! What a wonderful day to be alive on planet Earth! 🙌🏽✨

Our non-nappers took an afternoon adventure right behind our school on the Mississippi River batture to forage for berries. We found lots of wild black berries and mulberries. Our fingers are stained purple and we have bellies full of sweetness. Thank you, Mother Earth for all of your treasures!

Independence is at the heart of a Montessori classroom,where children are trusted, capable, and empowered to do things for themselves. From preparing their own snack, to choosing their own work each small moment builds confidence, focus, and pride.

“Never help a child with a task at which he feels he can succeed.” — Maria Montessori

Thinking about a Montessori environment for your child? Montessori is more than a method, it is a way of seeing and respecting the child. Instead of teaching children what to think, Montessori teaches them how to think—and trust themselves while doing it.

From the top of the morning to the wee hours of the afternoon, we immersed ourselves in Irish culture. We baked Irish soda bread and spread Kerry Irish Gold butter on top for snack, we decorated our classroom with rainbows and shamrocks, set a leprechaun trap , learned the history of St. Patrick, we even had a picnic lunch on the levee which we pretended was the rolling hills of Ireland. Although we were unsuccessful trapping the sneaky leprechaun, we still managed to have a fantastic day filled with excitement and even some silly bathroom surprises! 🇮🇪
