I would like to thank all of you for making both of our Thanksgiving Feasts a fun and delicious time! Many thanks to everyone who brought food and a special thanks to our awesome parent volunteers who helped set up and clean up!

We would like to wish all of our students and families a wonderful time of joy and celebration this holiday season!

3-6 & VPK Montessori Classes

This month our classes will be learning about Christmas, Hanukkah, and parts of the reindeer. We suggest reading over the holidays with your children, spending quality time with them, consistently building their comprehension and vocabulary.

Pre-Montessori & Pre-Montessori Toddler Class

In December, we will be enjoying the festivities of the holiday seasons. While welcoming winter, it is a good time to send a spare set of winter clothes to keep in your child’s cubby.

Reaching out to our Community

All donations are due in the office by Dec. 9th. Thank You

Rockledge Montessori Education for a Lifetime

Mrs. Fraleigh’s 3-6 & VPK Classes & Mrs. Tara Smith’s 3-6 & VPK

This month our classes will be learning about Christmas and Hanukkah, along with parts of the reindeer. The Afternoon Classes will have a Christmas party during class on Thursday the 15th. The 3-6 morning classes will have a Pajama Party on December 16th. Don’t forget, there is early dismissal at 11:30 on the 16th for both morning and extended day students. Be sure to read over the holidays with your children, spending quality time with them, consistently building their comprehension and vocabulary. The children will want to bring their new toys after Christmas, but please remind them that toys are not allowed at school.

Mrs. Jyoti Chopde’s VPK Classes

Everyone enjoyed the Thanksgiving potluck.

In December, we’ll be enjoying the festivities of the holiday season. We’ll also be welcoming winter, so now is a good time to send a spare sweatshirt to keep in your child’s cubby. We’ll be joining Mrs. Fraleigh’s Classes for the VPK Christmas party on December 15th.

Mrs. Sandra Rodriguez’s Pre-Montessori Twos Class

In December, we’re going to learn lots of fun Christmas songs to sing. We’ll also be learning about stars, bells, the colors red and green, and about making and giving gifts at Christmas. I wish all of our families a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Mrs. Harriet Lucacos’ Pre-Montessori Toddler Class

Our one year old class is busy, busy! The children are enjoying the outdoors and cooler weather. They love working on art projects. For December, we will be learning about the holidays, singing Christmas songs and making music with bells. We’ll make cards, decorate a stocking and focus on Christmas colors, review our shapes and the number 5.

¡Feliz Navidad y Feliz Año Nuevo!
