Hello from Room 5,

We are now learning about Ladybugs, Butterflies and the continent of Europe.

The weather has finally shown us "spring is here"!  Playing outdoors without snow gear is much easier!  We have more time to be out in the fresh air.

On Tuesday, April 22 was the "Rock the Earth"  arent/Child Adventure--what a great time we all had! Great music,as well as fun "earth" crafts made for a fantastic evening.  Thank you to all the families that attended this school-wide event.

This past week, in honor of Earth Day, we've talked with the children about how we can help care for the earth.  Recycling, picking up trash, turning off lights, using less water, and planting are things that people of all ages can participate in.

Earth Day

April 22 is Earth Day--this is a day that is set aside each year beginning in 1970, in order for us to pause and reflect or take action on how individuals and group can care for our earth. 

The Montessori Academy will celebrate this year as a community at our Parent child Adventure: Rockin the Earth Night.  This will be a time for a 1950's "Sock Hop" and several Earth Day Crafts for the younger children and parents to participate in.

We hope you are able to come out at spend time with our community painting or building a birdhouse, planting seeds for the TMA Early Childhood garden, making earth crafts and dancing the night away.

          Location:     TMA gym

        Time:          6:00-7:30
