Dr. Maria Montessori’s approach was to focus on the effort rather than the outcome. We want to help children develop intrinsic motivation versus focusing on the results. “There is no punishment or reward in our schools to interfere with the joy in the work itself. The only reward is in the completion of the work - it is at this time that internal discipline establishes itself, and the foundations of character are laid.”

It was such a joy to have Fr. James with us today to celebrate Mass! We talked about Lent and why priests wear the color violet for their vestments. He also talked about how God is a Father to us all. 🍊

Last week was Parents’ Night! We had the most wonderful time welcoming our parents into the classrooms! It was such a special experience watching the kids step into the role of guides, confidently guiding their parents through lessons and sharing what they’ve been learning. Seeing their excitement, pride, and growing independence was truly heartwarming. Moments like these remind us how powerful learning can be when it’s shared; full of laughter, connection, and unforgettable memories.

One of our favorite traditions is having students create self-portraits each semester. We study different artists and their self-portraits, then discuss what students might include in their own. It’s so fun seeing their self portrait from their first semester compared to their last.

“Observation of the work of others becomes increasingly frequent, as if it were a spontaneous “comparative” study between the child himself and his companions; or as if an active interest in the contemplation of the external surroundings were developing: the period of discovery. We may say that the child studies himself in his own productions and puts himself into communion with his companions and his environment.”
