“The children love to do these things [practical life activities] for themselves and they learn to be careful and precise in their movements. This is both education of movement, because there is a refinement of muscular co-ordination when the work is carefully done, and education through movement, because these activities involve judgement and will, self-discipline, and an appreciation of orderliness.”

On September 25, UCM turned PURPLE in honor of our friend Jasper! 💜

Our UCM community wore purple as we surround Jasper and his family with love while also helping to raise awareness for ITP, (Immune Thrombocytopenia), a rare blood disorder in which the immune system mistakenly attacks the body’s platelets, which are important for blood clotting.

For Jasper, for awareness, and for the reminder that we are community. 💜

“The training and sharpening of the senses has the obvious advantage of enlarging the field of perception and of offering an ever more solid foundation for intellectual growth.”
