In November, we will be making a fall collage in an artistic way. The term collage derives from the French "colle" meaning "glue". This term was coined by both Georges Braque and Pablo Picasso in the beginning of the 20th century when collage became a distinctive part of modern art. We will be collecting nature items from outside and also using magazine pictures and stamping leaf shapes. This activity involves all of our five senses : to identify colors, textures, forms, and subjects in the environment to display on our collage.
Please send in any child appropriate magazines such as Parents, Travel, Better Home and Garden, Cooking and National Geographic Kids.

The goal of both Montessori and traditional schools is the same: to provide learning experiences for the child. The biggest differences are in the kinds of learning experiences each school provides and the methods they use to accomplish this goal.
Montessori educators believe both differences are important because they help shape what a child learns, his work habits and his future attitudes toward himself and the world around him.

The Montessori School at StarCreek is so excited to share this creative and fun project made by the students in our E1 classroom!
Each student dedicated lots of time exploring and studying interesting facts about the Rainforest. The children constructed a diorama to display all of the fun facts they researched.
