💯🤓☀️ We had a fantastic 100th day of school this week! Students were invited to dress up as 100 year olds, or create a shirt featuring 100 items. We saw lots of creativity!

🎃 Montessori friends are having a gourd-geous time learning about pumpkins! They carved their class pumpkin this week using the shapes they voted for. Everyone had the chance to touch the inside of the pumpkin & feel the seeds if they wanted to - so much fun! Additional work is available to students in the Montessori classroom this month that involves hammering tees into a pumpkin. This activity helps develop fine motor skills, hand eye coordination and sensory exploration!

Our Montessori students learned about some important colors used in the church this week during their time with Mrs. Bishop! They enjoyed working with the mini chasuble set, and learned the meaning of each liturgical color. Purple: before the feast; white: during the feast; green: after the feast; and red: feast of the Holy Spirit.
