Camas Montessori School
| We are looking forward to Spring. Last Friday was so beautiful; we spent the afternoon outside repotting some plants. We also walked around the block and collected some twigs for a science experiment. Later this month I will be sending away for butterfly larvae. The open house was great. Thanks for coming. I hope you all had a good time. Valentine’s Day was fun! The children had a great time opening their cards and showing them around. They were all very appreciative and thanked each other for their cards. Thanks for all the cards and Valentine gifts. Thanks for the Ferrari Kimmie! We’re looking forward to the auction. Hope to see you all there. Jessica helped the children create an adorable pot with the children’s fingerprints and a cookie plate with unique self portraits! They are both wonderful! Thank you Miss Jessica for all the time and effort you put into them. Conferences are coming up. I have put out a sign- up sheet. On Wednesday, March 10th, Arlene will be subbing for my class. I will have conferences in the daycare room or Donnas’ office. I will be attending the annual Montessori conference on Friday the 12th. Sorry for any confusion this has caused.
