Montessori kind of smart

This morning Natalie came into our room with this thing in her hand and says "look it is a curvilinear triangle". Cam and I thought that was quite a mouthful for a 1st grader. Cam asked her what it meant ...and she knew! She then turned it into an ellipse and told us about those. HOLY COW
And yesterday Z brought home a perfect score on his timed 7's multiplication sheet. I don't think I learned multiplication until the 3rd grade and he is flying through them in the middle of second grade.

We are proud of our hardworking students!!!!!!

So, any questions or doubts about my kids school are gone. I love the Montessori school approach! My kids are thriving at this school. Thought I would share and officially state my gratitude for this school because without it my kids would be going to school in the hood. It truly is a HUGE blessing to our family.

Science Fair

Zerin and Natalie had a science fair at their school on Saturday. I thought 1st and 2nd grade was a little early to start science projects but it was fun to do with the kids. They are attending a Montessori school and it is definitely different from public school. I really like their school. They have a lot of opportunities and learning environments here that they would have at a public school. It has been great for them and a wonderful blessing for our family.... anyway back to the science fair.


Nat did her project on what materials would dissolve in water and if the temperature mattered. She did great work and was a little surprised with some of the results. This is her in front of her Project. She looks so small.



Zerin wanted to do a project about paper airplanes. He made 10 different styled/designed paper airplanes and then we flew them and measured the distance and observed the flying abilities of each of the plane. Z wanted to figure out which design would fly the straightest and furthest. He learned a lot about what folds do to the flight of the plane. Some did cool loops and some did nose dives and some flew awesome.

The science fair was fun for all... even Jane had a great time. She took notes and learned a lot.
