đ đ Montessori students are keeping things fresh and switched to ocean themed work today! Friends learned how to use this aquarium work by using a small net to scoop out "sea creatures". It looks like they had a sand-sational time!

đ Yesterday our Montessori full day students finished reading "Matilda" as a class. This is their 2nd chapter book of the year. Before reading each day, Miss Krista & Miss Katie ask the students comprehension questions about what has been read so far. Today the class began watching Matilda the movie to see the book come to life, and really enjoyed it! Next up on the #Montessori reading list is Charlie and The Chocolate Factory!
