Hello again and Happy Spring, all Montessori families! Tomorrow is the first day of Spring, and next week begins our third and final trimester of the school year.. We sent out our second trimester report cards, via e-mail, yesterday. If you didn't receive your child's report card, please let us know through Remind app. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to email Ms. Krista or Ms. Teresa (see Contact Infos and Schedules page on this website).
Students came home today with a shamrock necklace. This isn't just a cute Spring/ St. Patrick's Day activity, it is symbolic of an important religious lesson. Ms. Rachel told our children that St. Patrick used the shamrock to illustrate the Holy Trinity. One leaf for the Father, one for the Son, one for the Holy Spirit. Each student pinched off a shamrock from the plant Ms. Rachel brought in, which she then enclosed in the plastic so they could wear it for the rest of the day. In the countdown to Easter, Ms. Rachel is also talking about the Stations of the Cross with the children each day. We buried our "Allelujas" a while back, and now learn about this solemn time when Jesus was being persecuted and his journey to crucifixion. But the good news is, at the end of this journey, he was resurrected into everlasting life! And we will sing "Alleluja!" once more!
