May started with a bang!! We hosted two shows of Peter Hart and his puppets. He introduced us to some new puppets and brought back some old favorites.
We invited our mommies into our classrooms and recited some poems, showed off our favorite lessons, and gave them some sweet keepsakes.
We each made our own tie-dye t-shirts to wear for Field Day!
And, even though Field Day was rainy, the weather didn't stop us from our silly games!!
Ms. Mary returned from three weeks abroad and brought back stories and songs from all over Europe.
The Miami Circle campus hosted its first ballet recital, and our sweet ballerinas put on an adorable performance.
After months of hard work, our super readers got some awesome medals and trophies!!
SIX children read over 1,000 books this year. More than one of the trophies were for children who were three when school started in August and read over 100 - and up to 1,000 - books.
What kind of books are these children reading? Little House on the Prairie, Matilda, The BFG, hundreds of childhood classics, biographies, and other non-fiction works.
Thanks to all the mommies who wrote down all of those books!
They wrote letters to distant family members, added really BIG numbers, read lots of books, gave some little friends lessons, and loved on each other.
In the last few days of school, six children wrote 13 books (both non-fiction and fantasy) and did all their own research. 
These are three of the stories written - with no final corrections - by some of our pre-K students.
This is what Montessori is all about! We're teaching independence, instilling a love of learning, and giving the children the freedom to go as far as they can go.
The results are always astounding!
Cheers to another wonderful year, and lots of love to our graduates as they enter this new and exciting chapter of their lives.
