November was filled with so much joy and thankfulness. Our See's Candy Fundraiser was a great success! We look forward to the new additions to our school. We want to thank all our parents for your time attending our Parent/teacher conferences. They were very informative for parents and teachers and are always an excellent opportunity for a one-on-one conversation. Our Harvest Feast was so much fun! We have the most wonderful families here at Belltower Montessori, and we are beyond thankful to all of you.

The children were busy learning to be bucket fillers in each classroom by reading To Fill a Bucket by Carol McCloud and Katherine Martin. Being kind and helpful to others is a significant part of our school’s culture. We embraced the mixed-aged groups and used this as an opportunity for the children to share their knowledge and expertise when someone was in need. We always encourage the children to assist one another and to look to others for help. This enables us to build a strong foundation for our growing children. Share day is a day for the children to connect school and home by bringing in an item from home to share with their friends. This allows them to speak in front of a group and share personal stories and experiences. The children are truly enjoying our Enrichment program.

December will be filled with festive activities. We are excited about the upcoming Holiday performances. Each classroom will perform individually and be held in person the week of December 9-13th. Our school spirit week will be December 16-20. Each day will have a different theme. You can find the themes listed in the week prior Newsletter. We will also post a list of the themes in the front entry. We look forward to your participation. Progress report cards will be distributed on December 18^th. We hope that our Belltower families will have a safe and joyous holiday season. We will be closed for Winter break from December 24 through January 1. We will return on Thursday, January 2, 2024, ready to start a new year!
