Welcome back!
Happy New Year
I hope everyone had a restful break.
The children were so happy to see one another and Bob! I was so happy to see them too! I missed them.
I want to thank everyone again for your wonderful gifts and especially the generous group gift. It truly made my Christmas much brighter.
This week we spent getting back into the swing of things. Being out of the building for three weeks is a lot of time for little ones. We have rearranged our classroom and started working from the shelves independently. We are beginning to get our selves ready for Nursery 3 next year and all the wonderful things to come.

We are also blessed to welcome two new friends into our classroom.

Patterns and Manipulatives
In The Secret of Childhood, Montessori wrote that the human hand… “not only allows the mind to reveal itself but enables the whole being to enter into special relationships with its environment.” Manipulative activities like these engage hands and eyes in a practical task that satisfies the child’s need for purposeful work. At the same time, such activities offer unique physical challenges that help children develop concentration and learn to coordinate their most important “tools”: eyes and hands!
