May Recap: 

I’m amazed we accomplished so much in such little time this month. Our month started off with our Annual Mother’s Day Tea Party. Every room was filled with love, laughter and excitement from all our children. Each room had so much to offer. One room had a dance party while another had an elegant tea party with hats and tea and proper etiquette. Dads really pulled through for our mothers that day tea by helping to serve our wonderful mothers her at Belltower.

The second week of May was devoted to our Teachers, we had Teacher Appreciation Week. We started off the week with beautiful bouquets compiled from all the children bringing in a single flower. The rooms looked and smelled beautifully! The next treat was gifts from our children and school items our teachers had on their wish lists. Along with the help of parents, we had a successful Pot Luck Lunch for our teachers. One of my favorite days was Thursday, students were to bring in a portrait of their teacher. Let’s just say we have many artists at Belltower. The children’s pictures were incredible. It was a blessing to see how much the children know and enjoy their teachers company. The last day of the week our teachers were spoiled with cards and gifts, they were so pleased and thankful for the love bestowed upon them. Teacher Appreciation week gave our teachers so much encouragement and confidence of their daily hard work and thankful for the wonderful families and children they teach.

Book fair was accompanied by our Parent Teacher Conferences the 3^rd week of May. Tons of family friendly books were on display. From infant books to beginning reader books we had everything for everyone, including cookbooks for parents! We want to thank the parents who helped during book fair and appreciate the gesture, we couldn’t have done it without you!

April Recap:

We started the month of with our fun filled Day Care option for Spring Break. The children enjoyed all the exciting activities that our wonderful teachers planned for them. There were many creative art projects and sensorial activities. The children were also able to create new bonds with other children from different classrooms. Thank you to all our families that participated.

After Spring Break, we welcome many new friends to our school. A warm welcome to you all. This month the children concentrated on Australia as well as the Planet Earth. The children worked in their garden to help celebrate Earth day. They also learned the importance of recycling and keeping our planet clean.

April is also when we celebrate the “Week of the Child”. The Children were excited to dress up for the different themes for the week. Monday was our Future Self Day. The children came to school dressed as their future profession. There were lots of Doctors, Nurses and Police Officers that day. Tuesday was our Sports Day.  We had many soccer players and basketball fans. On Wednesday, we had a load of fun as everyone was either dressed as their favorite Super Hero or Princess. The children all looked dashing. Twin day was adorable. The children were able to dress like their friends for the day. We even had a set of quadruplets. It was great to see all our friends in the same outfit. Friday was Decades Day! We had children dressed in outfits from the 50’s and 80’s. They were so cute.  Thank you to all the parents for helping to make that week such a success.

March Recap: 

               Wow, each month has been bigger than the last! We had so much fun this month starting with Dr. Seuss’ Spirit week. Each day we had the chance to participate on a fun filled day. The second week of March started off with Hat’s Off to Dr. Seuss, we wore our favorite hats to celebrate the day. On Tuesday, we wore a shirt that other could read. Wednesday was crazy sock day, kids got to wear mix matched socks or outrageous funky socks. On Thursday the teachers got to enjoy a nice day under the blue sky for a book reading outside on the grass. Finally, I had the chance to read a special book to each class, we also had one of our very own grandparent to read a book to our kids. They enjoyed it very much, I love to get a little animated when reading so all eyes were on me, eek!

               Spring break will be new this year at Belltower and we took in registrations for the upcoming break. We already have many fun activities for the children to do, a little different than the Montessori work we already are so great at. Spring not only has brought a new season but also has reminded us of the upcoming school year that soon will be approaching. Re-Registration has begun for the 2018-2019 school year, with our fast-growing school, registration may be limited, so we do hope you turned in your forms. Please be wary of our monthly Newsletter and emails sent out. Important information is distributed via email.

               Our 2^nd Annual Egg Hunt was this month and we had a blast!! Each and every class had a chance to find eggs and play relay games outside. The rooms were filled with smiles and laughter. There was so much excitement and fun going on in each room, it was such a great sight to see so many parents participating. Thank you to everyone who helped make our day possible. We couldn’t have done it without your help and support. Our kids are truly blessed to have such a great community within our school.

February Recap:

This month was a fun filled month with love, friendship and excitement. We were so pleased to see so many parents, family and friends join us for our Friendship parties this month. Each class had different games and activities planned for our event. I had the pleasure of walking into each room and seeing the smiling faces of al the children. The had a great time handing out Valentine cards to one another. Our entire school was filled with hearts and pink, red and white streamers to give our school a fun feel.

Mr. John began building our sandbox this month and the children have become antsy with anticipation. He finally finished it the last week of the month and the children were thrilled to have another area they could focus their learning and imagination to build and play. We have been discussing our sandbox rules each day and needing everyone’s help keeping our sand “in the box” Mr. John also added a special little house to our toddler yard. The kids have been very enthusiastic about their new play house. We are truly blessed to have such amazing help around our school, thank you Mr. John!

As we expand our school and continue to thrive to make our program better, we implemented our new Lunch program option for all the students and family to participate or kindly decline. This will give the option to everyone to bring their own lunch from home. With this going into effect this upcoming month we do ask that you remember our “no peanut” policy. 

January Recap:

Welcome back from winter break everyone! It has been a busy and exciting new year. I would like to extend a warm welcome to our new Assistant Director Ms. Perla Benitez. We are so excited to have her join our family.

The children were busy learning about Antarctica and all the hibernating animals. They were also able to enjoy some of their vegetables that had been growing over the last few months.

As we all know the flu season is in full force. Please be mindful if your child is not feeling well, to keep them at home. We are working very hard to keep the children healthy and happy.

We are excited to be getting our new Children’s House# 6 classroom open next month. This will be our early elementary class that will be open in February.
