Chinese New Years is one of the most significant holidays in the Chinese culture.  This year is the Year of the Pig.  We had a blast during our celebration.  We thank all the families that joined us.  Our students learn dances and songs to celebrate the New Year.  We had a wonderful time celebration with our students, their family and prospective families. We are very proud of our students who practiced and performed.  Some children practiced but did not want to perform, some did not want to perform at first but got up and joined in when the other children started.  There are many factors involved in the child’s choice to perform or not, it is their choice to make, we respect and follow the children’s choices of the moment.  That is how we Montessori!

We like to throw snow, but its not nice to throw things at our friends. So, we throw snow at the wall, then we write about it. That’s how we Montessori!

Happy New Year!

We start off the new year learning about the relationship between the Earth, the Sun, and the Moon.

The children took turns to be “the Earth” that orbits around the sun. We learned that the Earth’s orbital path is not a perfect circle but an ellipse.

The children took turns to be the Earth and the moon, that while the Earth orbits around the sun, the moon orbits around the Earth.

We learned about the days in the week, months in the year and many more. What a fun way to start the new year!

Have a great year!

Very happy to receive hand written cards from our young writers.
