Montessori and Nature
Nautre is an integral part of the Montessori curriculum. A group of 9th grade students were asked to reflect on how nature has played a part in their time here at MSA. Here is what they had to say.
In the Montessori environment, we value being able to go outside and be a part of nature. We have a Horticulture program where our students are able to witness many things that nature has to provide for us.
In primary, at a very young age, you are taught how to do numerous activities with nature, even just being outside for recess was a great connection with the Earth. But in middle school is when you really learn a lot about nature and how good it is for you. I had horticulture with Mr. Jordan which was really interesting to learn where our food comes from. Planting, weeding, being with friends outside was even a connection with nature.
“To walk in nature is to witness a thousand miracles” a quote by Mary Davis

Captain Louie Jr.
Please join us along with Upper Elementary as they present Captain Louie Jr. The productions will be Thursday, October 26- Saturday October 28. Stay tuned for further details.
Louie has just moved to a new town and is nervous to make new friends. Alone in his room, he takes flight in his imagination back to his old neighborhood, where he spends Halloween with his colorful crew of chums. Over the course of trick-or-treating and being introduced to the new kid in that neighborhood, Louie discovers that making new friends is nothing to be afraid of.
