It feels like summer...

We are excited about summer and the warm weather but there is still so much left to do with the rest of our school year. We had so much fun at Spring Festival and our new clubs have been keeping us busy between all that great Montessori work. Check it out, pictures of the fun we have been having!!




Here is Petey, our classroom pet, he is tired after a long day helping us with Math, Science, Grammar, reading, cultural work, playing outside, ringing his bell to signal he wants to go outside to go potty and eating lunch. We love having Petey in the classroom with us!



Here is Aaron selling popcorn, frozen yogurt and cookies to raise money for our classroom!


We just started a wood working club that ALL the kids have joined. We are so excited about creating new and exciting things out of wood.






The Baking Club has been baking delicious items each Friday familes and friends can purchase these freshly baked items for $.25 and the Baking Club will donate the money to a Make A Wish child named Austin who is battling Leukamia. Also, next year the Baking Club will combine all the recipes they have used this year into a book and sell their cookbook to raise money for the Boise Montessori PTO! It's great that they get to have fun and raise money for good causes!







Here is a picture of our choir director, David, he is funny and every Friday we love singing the songs he chooses. We sing campfire songs, traditional folk songs and then mix it up with "Man in the Mirror" by Michael Jackson and "Dancing in the Streets" by Martha and the Vandellas! We had our last choir day last Friday but we are excited for next school year so that we can learn new fun songs to start our Fridays off right!


That's all for now. Check back, we will post some of our Summer Camp pictures and starting Septmeber 2008 we will have a new year loaded with new things to blog about!
