Introducing Our Diversity Program
AROUND THE WORLD CELEBRATION
We are excited to share more about our culture and diversity program, which includes highlighting a different country every month for Art, Veggiecation, Music, and our Montessori work cycles.
We have chosen a number of countries from the major continents of the world and look forward to exploring them with your students. In addition to learning more about each country, we will also highlight people from those countries who have shaped our world in a positive way.
The United States of America was our country theme for October.
You may have seen artwork coming home from your children celebrating American Pop Art, Fall themed projects, and American celebrations of the season. The children tried pumpkin smoothies and fall vegetables in Veggiecation and celebrated the Halloween holiday with their classmates and families at our Halloween Haunt fall festival.
Italy is our featured country for November.
We will explore Italy geographically and culturally through our Montessori work cycles and classroom activities. We will also learn more about Italian culture through enrichment in Art, Veggiecation and Music.
Just this week your children sampled different varieties of tomatoes in Veggiecation and learned about the many ways Italians use tomatoes in their world famous dishes. Next week they will explore European artists and music.
