Parents' Section
• Mrs. Shores came by Ms. Ali's class and gave a very informative presentation on recycling and composition. The kids really enjoyed learning "green" tips that will help improve our enviroment.
• Ni Hao! Caroline's mother, Ms. Heath, gave a truly enjoyable presentation to the students of 1905 about Caroline's native land, China. Caroline and her mom dressed in traditional Chinese clothing and taught the children all about the Chinese New Year. Thanks again to Ms. Heath for enriching our Chinese New Year celebration.
• Ms. Denise's class was treated to a wonderful presentation on Brazil. Pietra's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Marchetti, and Anna Clara's mother, Ms. Borges, shared their rich, colorful cultures with the class. The children sampled homemade Brazilian chocolates and yummy homemade cheese bread. It is always great to learn about our students' heritage.
• We would like to thank Mrs. Thatcher and her son Eric for giving Ms. Ali's class a wonderful presentation on Spain. The kids really enjoyed Manchego cheese and tasty oranges. They even learned a few new Spanish words. Que divertido!
• Nico and his parents Ellie and Rob Sanchez gave a wonderful presentation on Mexico in Ms. Denise's class. We would like to thank them for all their hard work.
• Mr. Misri and his son Parum gave a fascinating presentation on ocean animals to Mrs. Ali's class. Parum delighted his fellow classmates with facts about sharks, jellyfish, whales, and the ocean floor. The students were buzzing about the interesting marine animals the rest of the day.
• Thank you Laura and Matthew Gilbey for a fantastic presentation on all the cool things that can be seen on a summer road trip through Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, and Texas. We learned all about Ft. Morgan - a civil war fort stocked with old canons and other memorabilia. We also learned about the fascinating creatures that live on the beach (like crabs and jellyfish) and about the exciting Blue Angel Stunt planes.
• Mr. and Mrs. Prath stopped by Mrs. Ali's class and helped their daughter Lily with an interesting presentation on Hawaii. They had a multimedia slide show with pictures and video clips from their recent trip to our 50th state. Our students were intrigued by the beauty and culture of Hawaii and were treated to some delicious pineapple!
• Mr. Clement, Kaden and Kennedy's father, visited Mrs. Ali and Ms. Sunita's classes just in time for Memorial Day to speak with us about his work with the U.S. Air Force. In addition to providing insight into the excitement of flight, Mr. Clement reminded us all of what incredible things members of the armed forces do for us each and every day.
• Our 1905 students had the privilege of listening to Ms. Kim Wehrung, Paul's mom, perform some opera for us. It was such a treat for everyone to learn a little more about different kinds of music and to hear pieces from Mozart and other classical composers.
• Mr. and Mrs. Zavadsky, Benjamin and Alexander's parents, made a visit to Ms. Denise's class and taught everyone about Russian culture, language, and history. We especially enjoyed learning the Russian alphabet!
• Mr. Green-Musselman, Liam's dad, came to visit Mrs. Ali's class with his Mr. Potato Head in tow to give us a philosophy lesson, proving that we are never too young to start thinking about what it is that makes us who we are.
• Mr. Bordon, Ruby's father, made us all put on our math hats and start thinking about fractions. Everyone had a terrific time!
• Mrs. Huang, Allison's mom, came just in time for the Chinese New Year and told us all about her family's recent trip to China. Our students get so excited learning about foreign places and cultures. It really was a treat for everyone!

"Those who won our independence believed liberty to be the secret of happiness and courage to be the secret of liberty."

This Past June...
June marked the start of our summer season and we had plenty of activities to start celebrating. We started the month off with our Pajama Day! The students looked absolutely adorable in their different pajamas. We then kicked off summer with yummy hot dogs, chips, and fruit thanks to Ella and Nolan's dad, Mr. Hall. And finally, we ended the month with a few celebration shows! Ms. Ali, Ms. Denise, and Ms. Sunita's classes worked very hard and did an amazing job with their 4th of July performances.

Independence Day...
Independence Day is more than a chance for family and friends throughout the country to gather for barbecues and fireworks displays, it is an annual celebration to commemorate the courage and faith of our founding fathers in their pursuit of liberty. We hope that everyone enjoys their holiday with friends and family and we look forward to your safe return!
Summer Reading Contest...
Last year was a huge success for our Reading Contest. With all their hard work, the children together read more than 1900 books. How incredible! This year buildings 1903 and 1905 will ask their children to give another go at trying to read even more books. Please stay tuned next month to find out what your children did and how many more books they read.
Why the Montessori Method?...
Meeting the Needs of Your Child
The Montessori Method is a hands-on, prepared environment that is always growing at a child's own pace. A Montessori environment is an attempt, in an orderly fashion, to meet the multiple needs of each child and the needs of different types of children. Educating children in an atmosphere where their need for time, space, support, and stimulation can be met is just one of the many benefits of the Montessori Method.

Parents' Reviews
"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."
