May 3rd Update
Excitement has been hatching in room 13! Five little chicks made their appearance and many classes had the opportunity to see the chicks. Thank you to the family who generously donated this opportunity to the classroom. We learned a great deal about animal life cycles and care for animals.
Montessori Tenet
Our tenet for the month of May is cosmic education. This is the understanding of the world and our place within it. This week rooms 10 and 11 hosted a sharing assembly about water. They shared ways for us to respect and appreciate water and how our actions affect others. In their book, Children of the Universe, Montessorians Michael and D'Neil Duffy sum up the purpose of Cosmic Education neatly: "This six-year Montessori experience gives elementary students opportunities to appreciate their roots in the universe, to sense their place in its context, and to embrace the role this defines for their lives." Maria Montessori said, “we shall walk together on this path of life, for all things are a part of the universe and are connected with each other to form one whole unity.”
