Our Parent Book Club is back with a new recommended read!
The Self-Driven Child by William Stixrud and Ned Johnson. This book comes highly recommended by Kathy Minardi, a longtime leader in the AMI Montessori community, who has personally worked with the authors who are psychologists in the D.C. area.
As we did for the Anxious Generation, we will talk about the book in 2 parts:
- March 6th - Part One covers Chapters 1 to 7
- March 13th - Part Two will cover Chapters 8 to 14
We will meet right after morning drop off this time. Please RSVP and plan to join us in the Clubhouse from 8:30 to 9:30am. If you can only make one of the times, still come! And if you prefer podcasts, here's a LINK to the author's page for that. Looking forward to seeing you all there!
Sunny Days are Here Again!
The bitter cold last week is a distant memory now...the sun has returned and it is starting to feel like Spring. Guides are starting to think about Spring gardens, our new PE sessions are underway, and Spring Enrichments have brought much excitement to our students!
The next All Ages Play is this Saturday, March 1st, from 2 to 4pm. The February date was cancelled due to above mentioned weather. Happily this Saturday looks to be sunny and warm! Thanks to Carmen, Gina, and Etsuko for hosting this event.
The CMS chickens have been busy laying and we have eggs for sale! The chickens are managed by the Nova Adolescent students as part of their Microeconomy studies. Microeconomy refers to a small business run by students that involves production, distribution, and exchange. It's a way for students to learn about economics and contribute to their community. Proceeds from their egg sales go back into their business to cover the cost of chicken feed and supplies. Click Here to place your egg order.
Thank you for supporting the Nova Adolescent Students' small business!
