Ted DiRenzo Montessori School

    We hope everyone enjoyed their holidays.  Thank you for your generosity with gifts and donations throughout the Christmas season.  Our Martin Luther King/Special Person Assembly was educational and fun.  The P3 class learned about Robert McNair, a NASA astronaut.  The children also learned many interesting facts about Rosa Parks and Martin Luthe King. 

    This month the children are learning about geometric soids, the continents and money.  Please practice money with your children at home.  They love to play games with money.

    The children are looking forward to Pajama Day on December 25th.  It is a fun day to be cozy in our pajamas and enjoy stories together.  

    Please start thinking about your child's 100th day project.  They can collect a 100 objects and make a poster or collection.  Some ideas are stickers, buttons, pennies, paper clips or cereal.
