The Pre-K students love our Montessori Work Time! When given a choice between working and something else, they usually choose work time! They are making excellent progress on their lessons and are always ready for the next challenge. We are so proud of them!

Board Games
Looking for a fun way to spend time together this weekend? Pull out a board game! They may look like simple fun, but they’re packed with learning. As your child plays, they’re practicing patience while waiting for a turn, learning to follow rules, and discovering how to handle winning and losing with a smile. They’re also building early math skills by counting spaces and dots on the dice, and strengthening focus, memory, and problem-solving along the way.
On Friday, we played our first game of the year, "Pass the Potato!" - think Hot Potato! After learning the rules of the game, the students gently passed the potato around the circle to the music. When the music stopped, there was a "potato explosion" and whoever was holding the potato was out. The Pre-K students did an amazing job following the rules, waiting their turn, and being a great sport!
Happy 5th birthday to Dara! She brought in special treat bags for everyone!
