THEMES:  
We will be loosely structuring Montessori and non-
Montessori lessons around the themes discussed during group lesson time
and independent work time (during which small group lessons take
place).  Below is a list of the themes that we will be covering this year:
September:  
New Places, New Faces--
Starting school and making friends; and
Discovery Street-- The neighborhood (community helpers)
October: Vroom!  Vroom!-- Transportation, roads, and safety
November & December: Our Diner-- Cooking and nutrition
January: Build It Big!-- Construction, tools, simple machines, and jobs
February & March: Healthy Me!-- Our physiology, and staying safe
                                                      and healthy
April: Our Water Wonderland-- Water in our world and plant growth
May & June: Backyard Detectives-- Investigating nature and life
                                                      cycles
