Summer Recap

Summer came and went in the blink of an eye! We had a fantastic time with all our in-house activities!! We started the summer with a Party in The USA. We celebrated the 4^th of July by learning about the meaning of Independence Day, making fireworks art, and watching videos about fireworks. Our Outer Space week was filled with Stars, planets, and constellations. We named the planets and learned how they go around the sun. We had Tide pools where the children could touch and feel underwater sea creatures for our Underwater Adventure. They were able to hold them and see how they felt. The children learned about the materials needed to go Camping. We made smores and did some bird-watching with binoculars. Our reptile friends came to visit us as well. Some children petted a python and looked closely at turtles and giant lizards. We studied Farms and the animals that live on farms. We used 3-part cards to connect the bodies of the animals and created several pieces of farm animal art using paper plates and popsicle sticks. Volcano week was a blast. The children worked together in the classrooms to create volcanos and erupted them at the end of the week. The water slide was a fantastic addition to our summer fun. The child had so much fun slipping and sliding. The highlight of the summer was our carnival, which included a petting zoo, face painting, games, and wonderful family time! Thank you so much for being a part of our program.

September Blog

School is back in session, and we are excited to see many new and returning faces. September is filled with “All About Me” activities as the theme for the month. The children will be learning and sharing what makes them special and unique. We will create posters and family trees for a big monthly project. We will learn about the seven continents and begin understanding the globe. Normalizing the classroom by using our manners and learning our classroom rules and routines will also be a big part of learning in September.

 We are honored that you chose Belltower Montessori Academy for your children’s education. We are excited to jump into the school year and see what new opportunities and learning experiences this year holds for us.

Thank you!
