// Week of October 22: Curriculum Update //

     This week in the Circle Room  orange paint,  pumpkin songs and autumn art activities were introduced.  The class stood in wonder while observing the beautiful red leaves adorning Hamilton Park’s trees.  Our daily walks to the park give us lots of time to appreciate the changes that the season brings. Additional clothing gives the opportunity for new lessons in self-care. User-friendly outdoor shoes and boots help to build independence and self-confidence.

          The children were thrilled to participate in making a healthy apple, cucumber, and kale juice with a child-friendly juicer. They also enjoyed drinking the juice - many asked for second servings!

          The first birthdays of the school year were celebrated in a very special Montessori  fashion, with the Earth making it’s way around the Sun for each year of the birthday child’s life!  We look forward to celebrating many more as the school  year progresses.
