We’ve got ladybugs! (well, sorta, kinda)
Monday, May 5th, 2008Every year at Montessori, my girls’ classrooms get a caterpillar and watch it transform into a butterfly. They learn all about the life-cycle of a butterfly and they get so excited when the class goes outside to watch the butterfly fly away.
So, I thought we’d try to do something similar at home. We [...]
There’s a party going on right here…

Preschool parent/teacher conference
Thursday, January 24th, 2008TheOldest had her parent/teacher conference at Montessori today.
