Primary II March Blogpost

Hello Families,

We celebrated the first day of Spring yesterday with beautiful weather, which has meant a lot of outside time this week.  We have been quite busy in the classroom this month.  In addition to our regular work in Practical Life, Sensorial, Math, and Language, we began our unit on the Human Body.  We started with the circulatory system and learned all about the components of blood.  Ask your child about the jobs of red and white blood cells, as well as platelets. The students amaze us with their level of comprehension!  We also learned about the digestive system, which has led to some really great conversations about nutrition and healthy choices.  We are also preparing for the Multicultural Festival (April 5th) by turning our classroom into chilly Antarctica.

We hope your Spring Break is relaxing and provides time with your family.  Monica and I will be heading to Dallas, Texas to attend the American Montessori Society Conference with several other teachers from MSH.  This is an incredible opportunity to surround ourselves with a dynamic community of fellow Montessorians.  Thank you so much to everyone who helped and supported the fundraising efforts to make this possible. We know we will learn so much and are excited to come back with fresh ideas for the school and your children.  As always, thank you for your support each day.
