• 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! ellow students, Benjamin and Alexander.
• 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!
University of Texas Research
Information
Northwest Montessori has been given the exciting opportunity to work with The University of Texas at Austin in a three-year study for teaching science to children. Each year UT will provide educational materials that aid in the children's exploration of a total of three science topics: Physical Science, Life Science, and Earth Science. Melissa Garcia is UT's representative and will regularly visit our school to meet with students and examine their understanding of the material they're being taught. For the 2009-2010 school year, our students focused on Physical Science with Ms. Garcia. The students learned all about the properties of matter and how to sort and classify each property. Next year, students will begin their study of Life Science. What an exciting occasion! At Northwest Montessori, we strongly believe that science is an invaluable subject that can be taught at any age. We look forward to collaborating with UT over the next few years and are so happy to help in the advancement of teaching science to young minds.

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."
