Between special visitors, delicious cooking projects, music, art, and plenty of time outdoors, our classrooms have been busy! Here's a little peek at what's been happening around CMCH.
Guess Who's Coming to Read?
Our Mystery Readers have been making quite the entrance! The children love guessing who their special guest might be, and the excitement when the mystery is finally solved is priceless.
A big thank you to all the parents and family members who have signed up to share a story with our classes! Interested in being a Mystery Reader? Reach out to your child's classroom team to get involved. We'd love to have you!
A Little Taste of the Parsha
Our Primary classrooms brought Parshas Toldos to life with a delicious lesson inspired by Yaakov's lentil soup!
The children practiced carefully peeling and chopping vegetables, following steps, and working together to prepare their very own soup. These are wonderful Practical Life experiences that build independence, coordination, and confidence—and the fact that everyone got to enjoy the results at lunch made it even better!
They even created little lentil pots to help remember the story. Torah learning you can see, touch, smell, and taste! And judging by the empty bowls, the soup was a hit.
Art, Music & Plenty of Creativity
Art with Morah Robyn and Music with Mr. Bear are in full swing! Our children have been enjoying these special opportunities to explore a variety of materials, express themselves creatively, and learn through music and movement.
We love having these experiences woven into the school week, giving children even more ways to discover their interests and talents.
Fall Looks Good on CMCH!
This beautiful stretch of Georgia fall weather has been too good to waste! Our classrooms have been taking advantage of every opportunity to head outside for nature walks, exploration, outdoor classroom time, and even lunch picnics.
The changing leaves, cooler air, and little discoveries along the way make the outdoors an extension of our classrooms. There's so much to notice, investigate, and enjoy when we slow down and let the children lead the way.
The Everyday Work That Matters
And between all the special activities, our Montessori work cycles continue!
Children are choosing their work, practicing new skills, working independently and alongside friends, and building concentration and confidence. Some of the most important growth happens in these ordinary classroom moments—when a child masters something they've been practicing, helps a friend, or proudly completes a work all on their own.
Lots of hard work, growing independence, and plenty of little victories happening every day!
From mystery guests to lentil soup and everything in between, it's been a wonderful couple of weeks at CMCH. We hope you're enjoying the little glimpses of classroom life coming through Playground. There's always more happening than can fit into a newsletter!
