October brings a change in season that ushers in the fall. As the temperatures begin to cool, there is a new crispness in the air, and the leaves are beginning to change their colors.The children enjoy visits to the garden from creatures preparing for winter including birds, bunnies, lizards, and bugs.

Dr. Maria Montessori stated that children belong to nature. With this in mind, the outdoor exposure has a positive effect on the well-being of our students.

As fall quickly approaches, a new transformation has taken place in our greenhouse. Thank you to Ms. April’s husband, John Dane, for his craftsmanship as he expanded our growing area by adding additional shelving to our greenhouse. What a pleasure for all of us! We appreciate his time and hard work. The children have been busy in their new added space planting and seeding vegetables.

Remember, learning is endless!

Ms. Val and Ms. Marian are always watching!

We would like to take this time to welcome you to our outdoor classroom!

What is an outdoor classroom?…Our pictures will tell a story we hope you will enjoy. It is nature, combined with an abundance of learning. It will give our children the opportunity to explore, question, and experience nature’s gift to all of us.

Dr. Maria Montessori had a vision that gives children the opportunity to make choices, developing a well-rounded individual. Let us take you on a visual tour of the outdoor world.

We will encourage creativity, as well as artistic values and imagination as keys to producing life-long learners.

We have a greenhouse that will flourish before their very eyes.

They will become our backyard detectives, solving nature’s mysteries and secrets. Their final analysis will be fascinating as they follow their interests.

The weather will be important, so kindly dress the children appropriately each day. Layers and sturdy shoes are always suggested.

Albert Einstein said, “Imagination is more important than knowledge.” Our goal is for children to flourish in our outdoor classroom! We look forward to having a very productive year. Feel free to visit us and watch our progress.

Remember, learning is endless!

–Ms. Val and Ms. Marian
