🍀🌈🪄 Oh no… a Leprechaun got into our Montessori Pre-K class today! He caused all sorts of mischief - crossing out the journal prompt for the day, hiding work lists, and leaving green footprints everywhere!

Thankfully he didn’t just make trouble—he left behind some surprises too! Students were excited to find treats waiting for them in their leprechaun traps, shiny gold coins hidden all around the room, and even some yummy marshmallows to enjoy. Happy St Patrick’s Day!

👻🎃🍭 Our Montessori class had so much fun at their Halloween party last week!

🧪👩‍🔬 Montessori friends were bubbling over with excitement this week for #SCIENCE! Miss Katie demonstrated the classic baking soda & vinegar reaction, but added food coloring to make different colors. Everyone had so much fun seeing the mixture fizz up & over onto the table!

🎃 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.
