Garden Days 2019

We love having a beautiful outdoor area as an extension of our classrooms! We recently had 2 days dedicated to working in the garden and we are very proud of how lovely everything looks.

​Along with the fun of getting dirty, gardening helps children learn valuable lessons about patience as they wait for vegetables to grow, responsibility as they see how necessary their care is to the garden, and even loss when flowers die at the end of a season.

"There is no description, no image in any book that is capable of replacing the sight of real trees, and all the life to be found around them, in a real forest. Something emanates from those trees which speaks to the soul, something no book, no museum is capable of giving" - Maria Montessori
