Our 8th grade advanced ELA students participated in a "Fishbowl" discussion about Lois Lowry's book The Giver. Conversation was student directed allowing them to cover questions and concepts that they found meaningful.
Our Montessori students have been learning some parables that teach about Jesus, the Good Shepherd. “If Jesus is the shepherd, who are the sheep?” “We are!”
