Lodi Montessori Preschool & Kindergarten

Happy Lunar New Year!

Can you hear the cracking sound? We were getting these sesame rice papers crispy for the children to try this Lunar New Year.

Can you guess what day it is? 100 days of learning at LOMO

Prepping for our annual Harvest Festival! It’s going to be a fun and spooktacular time with our children. It is also a minimum day this Friday. Dismissal is at 11:30am.

We seeing our older friends teaching the younger ones new skills. Such a sweet moment caught on camera!

The children studied the Solar System this month. How exciting for one of our young 3 year olds to share his knowledge with us! Impressive!

Apple EVERYTHING this week- tasting, math, cinnamon roll pies, art and Johnny Appleseed!

Our annual Lunch with a Loved One was replaced with Lunch with a Loved Teddy this year. The children were excited to have a picnic with their furry friends!

Our children did a fantastic job staying calm and following their teachers’ instructions during the fire drill this morning. Leading up to this day, teachers discussed with the children about fire safety and what to expect during the drill. The children’s response to the loud noise was a good implication that they were well prepared. No tears! Good job children!

There is a great sense of community within the Montessori classroom, where children of differing ages work together in an atmosphere of cooperation rather than... competitiveness. There is respect for the environment and for the individuals within it, which comes through experience of freedom within the community. Dr. Maria Montessori (cited in Elizabeth Hainstock, 1986, p. 81 The Essential Montessori) See more

Today was fall picture day and what a success! @marygphoto and her team did such a wonderful job with our young children. They were able to get every child to smile at the camera this morning. Our photographers were thorough and took the necessary measures to ensure the safety of our school. We appreciate how they sanitize after each child and kept their distance as much as possible. Thank you Mary, Barb and Dave for making it a fun and smooth operation. See you next spring for our graduates’ cap and gown photos!

The first day of our 2020-2021 school year starts tomorrow, and we just can’t wait!

Meeting in session! ...preparation for the 2020-2021 school year. We look forward to seeing the new and returning faces tomorrow morning. The rings at 8:25am and class instruction begins promptly at 8:30. See you all then!

Pancakes anyone?
