• Ms. Sunita's class had the opportunity to learn about the South American country Ecuador during a presentation from Carol Ramsey, Sophia and Alana's mother. The children loved the photos of the mountains and old-fashioned trains they got to see.
• Kalki and Ashok’s mother, Nishamathi Pradeepkumar, gave a wonderful presentation on India to Ms. Sunita’s class on August 19th. We learned about the colorful culture of India, and the students were even given bindis as a reminder of what they learned!
• On September 21st, Ms. Ali’s class was treated to a presentation on woodworking from Ron Chandler, Riley’s dad. The students were fascinated by all the different types of tools used to construct things out of wood.
• Anna Garcia, Jase’s mother, spoke to Ms. Sunita’s class about Mexico. She brought maracas so we could play some traditional Mexican music, and we were even shown some Mexican games. It was an enjoyable time for all.
• On September 27th, the children of 1903 were excited to hear about being a lawyer from John Scott’s mother, Shelly Gray. We learned about the law and how we can find it in our everyday lives. Everyone learned a lot!
• On Wednesday, September 28th, Anjeanette Watkins, an industrial engineer, taught us about the way mail gets from one place to another. It was an enlightening experience for the whole class.
• Maceo’s mother, Jeanette Cross, told the students of 1905 all about her job as a doctor. The whole class was fascinated by the stethoscopes and other instruments that we use to listen to our bodies.
• Armin Vit, Maya’s father and a graphic designer, gave a very interesting presentation to Ms. Ali’s class on his job. We learned all about where the images we see everyday come from.
• Shanna Barry gave a wonderful presentation on September 28th about her job as a nurse. The class learned lots of different ways to stay healthy all year long.
• Damon and Nanette Flowers, the parents of Summit and Sage, taught us all about communication in their absorbing presentation. The opportunity to chat with children in India by way of Skype was an unforgettable experience for our class.
• On October 3rd, Nathan’s mother Angela Vogeli spoke to the class of 1903 about her job as a lawyer. It was great for the children to think about what great jobs such as this they can look forward to when they grow up.

Parents' Reviews
"We can not be more lucky parents than to find Northwest Montessori. In only a few weeks that she is been going there, my daughter has really enjoyed it. I cannot describe her face every single day when we park at front and leave her at the school, her big smile, it is priceless!!"
"My daughter has grown into a lovely young lady at NW Montessori. She is smarter and more confident now."
"We are always amazed (but no longer surprised) when Liam beams with pride after he learns how to spell new words we didn't teach him at home. The teachers at NWM are not only talented and dedicated, they truly care about all their students."
"Over the years that my son has been at Northwest Montessori House of Children, we have come to love this school, and would recommend it to all parents. What is best is that the teachers and staff seem to love what they do. Along with being firm with the children, they are friendly and affectionate, providing them with a loving, cheerful and encouraging environment. The science fair in my son's class this year was a truly amazing experience. Each of the 30+ children had their own experiment which they presented and shared with their families and some local experts. My son articulated the complete functioning of a doorbell with authority. We were amazing to see how much the children knew not only about their own experiments, but also those of their classmates. I have found that here at Northwest Montessori, they provide the children with a stimulating environment that truly hones their love for learning."
