September 2026

September has been an exciting start to the school year at Little Acorn Montessori! Our students have been practicing important Montessori skills, including rolling and putting away their mats, caring for their classroom, and developing independence.



In Math, we reviewed numbers 1–20. In Science, we explored the five senses and learned about the parts of a plant. Our special science lesson focused on the life cycle of a butterfly, as the children discovered the transformation from caterpillar to butterfly.

Our literature book, The Kissing Hand by Audrey Penn, helped us talk about feelings and adjusting to the new school year. During circle time, we practiced introducing ourselves and using kind manners such as “please” and “thank you.”

The children are enjoying learning new Spanish vocabulary, songs, and simple everyday words while building confidence in both languages.

We are proud of our students and all they are learning as they grow in independence, confidence, and curiosity. Thank you, parents, for your continued support!

Summer 2026

What an incredible summer it has been at Little Acorn Montessori! Our Summer Program was filled with exciting adventures, hands-on learning experiences, creative activities, and unforgettable memories. Each week brought a new theme that inspired our children to explore, discover, and learn through play while building friendships and confidence. We kicked off our summer celebrations with a patriotic week full of red, white, and blue fun. Children learned about American symbols, enjoyed festive crafts, participated in parades, and celebrated the spirit of our country through music, games, and creative activities. Our students explored the important roles that community helpers play in our everyday lives. They learned about firefighters, police officers, doctors, nurses, and many other heroes who help keep our communities safe and healthy.



The children traveled back in time to the age of dinosaurs! Young paleontologists enjoyed digging for fossils, creating dinosaur crafts, learning fascinating facts about prehistoric creatures, and exploring sensory activities that sparked their curiosity and imagination. Farm life came alive as children learned about farm animals, crops, and life in the countryside.

Our summer continued with meaningful hands-on experiences. During Farm Week, the children interacted with farm animals while learning about nature and caring for animals. Camping Week included nature crafts, campfire stories, pretend camping, and making s’mores while learning about teamwork and outdoor safety.

Pirate Week encouraged imagination through treasure hunts, maps, and creative activities. During Beach Week, the children explored ocean life, enjoyed water play, and learned about marine animals and caring for our oceans.

We concluded our summer with Olympics Week, where the children participated in sports, relay races, and team activities while learning about teamwork, perseverance, and sportsmanship.

It was a wonderful summer filled with learning, creativity, exploration, and friendship. We are proud of our students and grateful to our families for making this summer so special at Little Acorn Montessori!
