Maria Montessori once said: “The greatest sign of success for a teacher... is to be able to say, ” "The children are now working as if I did not exist." That is when we know a class is normalized and fully acclimated to the Montessori method. We are working towards that!
We want to welcome Miss Annedria, our W/F Assistant, Miss Carrie, our Montessori Mozarts teacher, and Miss Kelli, our special art projects teacher. Please feel free to download your child's photos by right-clicking on the picture, "view in another tab", then saving it from that new tab.
We also celebrated Travin's 5th birthday on the first day of school! Happy Birthday Travin!
