As our school year comes to an end, we have many classroom routines and traditions we partake in. Students take responsibility and ownership as they help close down the environment. They help clean and scrub their cubbies, polish our beautiful wooden Montessori materials, and dust off our shelves. We always take time to reflect and honor our friendships. Students bead “friendship pins” and gives the pin to a friend to wear. Many favorite two-person works come back out from the beginning of year to enjoy together again. Favorite songs and line time activities are also requested! We enjoy our classroom community! We had Beach day this week were children were invited to make a snow cone and use their towel as a rug. We enjoyed an EC picnic lunch outside together on our towels as well. We had our very last food preparation work of making pizza and eating them together to celebrate our food curriculum! We also enjoyed our last week of specials!
