Training to be an AMI Montessori guide requires hours upon hours of class time, observing in other classrooms, student teaching, and homework. It’s a daunting task, but when you want to offer the best education, you put in the work to be the best.

Yesterday was absolutely gorgeous. Our Elementary took a walk to the corner of our neighborhood where the view is not disappointing. Sketchpads and pencils came along, and we broke up into small groups to sit and observe and let our hands work through what our minds were seeing.

Lots of math and geometry works in Elementary this week: Long division with the racks and tubes; squaring the binomial; learning and practicing multiplication; and learning about congruence, similarity and equivalence.

“Now watch this,” I heard her saying from the other room.
We have 12 floor cushions kept in two piles of six near the front window.
“If you take two off of both of these piles and stack them up, you have three piles of four.”
The younger kids looked on fascinated.
“Then, if you take one off of each on those piles and stack them, you have four piles of three.”
That’s as far as she went, so I asked her what would happen if she took one off of each pile and made two stack from those.
“We have six piles of two!”
Division and factoring happening in the wild.

It’s #GivingTuesday 2020. Like so many other worthy charities we are seeking your support.
We began this year in spite of COVID with twelve children. Since we do not wish ability to pay to be a barrier, seven of those twelve have received some level of tuition reduction.
As you can see in the photos below from our Instagram feed, it has been a pleasing year thus far. We have added:
- a dishwashing stand where children can learn to wash and dry their own dishes after snack;
- a knobs and screws work for the children to learn how to use basic tools;
- aprons and oil cloth underlays to increase the number of children who can do pouring works;
- some outdoor tools for raking leaves;
- more books for our reading corner, among other things.
Our ask for #GivingTuesday is two-fold:
Large Needs
Heating and Ventilation: First, if you can give a large amount, it will help us shore up our aging heating and cooling system. Our furnace, air conditioning unit, and ductwork are very old and need to be serviced badly. Such work doesn’t fit into the regular budget, so an emergency could be catastrophic for us.
Outdoor Works: Second, we would love to provide an outdoor space where children could go to do outdoor works in a secure and well-designed yard. This requires a retaining wall and fence around the perimeter.
Larger gifts will help make these possible sooner rather than later.
Smaller Needs
For those who cannot give a large amount, would you consider becoming a monthly donor? Monthly donors are the lifeblood of our operations, allowing us to plan for the future. We are looking for 20 new donors at the $20 level by the end of the year. We have nine new monthly donors, could you help us close that gap with a first $20 monthly donation?
Whatever you give, we thank you from the bottoms of our hearts. God bless!
