A New Book

We have a new book called, Why Is It Getting Darker Outside? Please click here to view it online or come inside to view it in person. It is filled with beautiful theories formulated by your children in response to the question of, "Why are the nights getting longer and the days getting shorter?". If you are interested in purchasing a book please see Angelina. We are waiting to place an order until there is a deal or discount with the publishing program.
Thank you.

Snowy December Days

At last we have snow on the playground!
It brings opportunities to play in many new ways...

Shoveling...Building snowmen...Playing hide and seek...and making snowballs.Inside we are still enjoying the scientific inquiry of color mixing and the wonderful colors that fill our fishbowl at the end of the day (don't fret it is fish-free environment).

There are several new class works in honor of the various celebrations and holidays that open the door to winter.Like this menorah puzzle.And let's not overlook all the traditionally Montessori activities that always permeate the work cycle.Like matching number rods and numerals at a distance. There is always time to help a friend with an art activity

or to just make some music.
It was another wonderful week in Ward-Hobbs PM.
Announcements:
The father's night was a big success and we will post some pictures next week.
Hannah's mom and Nanny came on Thursday to make gingerbread men with the class---Thank you, thank you Erin and Kelly, they loved it.
Our classroom is happily decorated with handmade chains, garlands and snowflakes that the students proudly made. Please come in to take a peek.
The weather has turned cold so please make sure we have an extra set of weather appropriate clothing for your child and take home any shorts or summery attire. Thank you.

Looking ahead:
Winter Break is fast approaching. There will be no school December 19th-January 5th. Classes resume on the 6th.
Mama's save the date for Mother's Night on January 14th from 6-7:00PM.

Thanks again for the opportunity to work with and learn from your children,
Angelina, Shannon and Belle.
