Hello again from the Montessori Children's House! We have a lot of exciting news to share this month! First, let's say, "Alleluia!" Last week, Fr. Bryan helped "unbury" our Alleluias, to celebrate the end of Lent and the beginning of the Easter season! A video of our excited children's joyous voices was posted on the St. Mary's Facebook page, if you haven't seen it yet! Also, last week, Ms. Rachel brought in some fertilized eggs and set them in the incubator, where we will watch and wait and pray for the new life to hatch in 21 days. This is such an important and special lesson about the miracle of new life, and there are lots of pieces of work so that our students can visualize how the chicks are growing, day by day. We are "eggspecting" chicks on May 4! Speaking of new life, we are surrounded by so much nature when we go outside now! Worms and bugs and flowers and birds and even a baby bunny (that our students observed so quietly that it didn't run away)! Our rule, so you know, is that we leave all the nature outside, where we found it. This week, we are talking about Earth Day, and explore why we take care of our earth. To commemorate Earth Day, we are learning about paper recycling, and every child will be making and bringing home their own piece of recycled paper.
