🌞✨ Another Wonderful Week at Providence Montessori! ✨🌞
What a joyful week of learning, discovery, and friendship! Our former student, Ms Annie came to our school during her vacation. She did science experiments, art projects, Spanish lessons, cooking activities, and story time. The children absolutely loved learning from her and looked forward to her activities.

Our outdoor classroom is now officially open, and it has quickly become a favorite learning space. The children are enjoying working and exploring in the fresh air, watching beautiful butterflies while Sunshine and Valentine, our beloved hens, are happily spending time outside their coop, soaking up the sunshine and delighting the children with their work time.

We also celebrated our special Donuts with Dads event. It was heartwarming to see the children proudly share their favorite Montessori work with their dads and enjoy a sweet treat together. These special moments help create lasting memories for both children and families. To end the week, we enjoyed another fun-filled dance class with lots of movement, music, and smiles!

💙 Have a happy, safe, and relaxing weekend! 💙
