As we are getting ready for the new school year, our classrooms have been transforming. Shelves, tables and chairs have been rearranged and new materials have arrived. Our staff has been working diligently to ensure a great new beginning for everyone.
Our Extended care friends will be enjoying a new peace area (please see picture below). Peace area is an essential part of the Montessori classroom and children will use it to solve problems, work on their self-regulation or just explore enticing work materials that promote mindfulness and peace education.
We were also lucky enough to receive some new pets, which everyone may look at as they walk down the hallway. They are called African dwarf clawed frogs and enjoy swimming in their tank.
We wish everyone a wonderful year at UMS!
