Halloween.  In our haste to introduce children to all the exciting holiday celebrations, we sometimes overlook the occasional side effects. Halloween, with its emphasis on horror, monsters, or super-hero fantasies, falls into this category. Very young children can be unduly scared by the goings-on of this holiday. So here at The Montessori House we make an effort to keep the atmosphere at school as undisturbed as possible, and we appreciate your cooperation in helping us do so by not sending in treats and not dressing your child in a costume for school.

Tulip Planting, Fall Festival, Hay Days.  Instead, to celebrate the season, on  Friday, October 23 the children scooped pumpkins with the Parent Garden Committee; at last Sunday’s school Fall Festival they planted tulip bulbs in the playground garden boxes; and this  Friday, October 30^th the children will participate in a “Hay Days Adventure” on the playground.
