All Religions Month
As a part of our DEIJ program, in November we are celebrating All Religions month. We were excited to welcome Munkar's mom who taught us about Islam and Henry in Kindergarten's pop-pop who taught us about the African Methodist Episcopal church. The students were able to learn about those faiths and compare them to the Catholic faith we learn about in school. It was a great morning together!
Montessori Lessons
In a Montessori classroom, changing out lessons regularly is important because it allows teachers to cater to individual student needs, encourage continuous development by introducing new challenges as children master concepts, and maintain engagement by providing variety in activities. This week in Pre-K, the students were so excited to be introduced to several new lessons!

| Sophia is working on fall patterns. |
