Montessori Week
We are looking forward to this year’s Montessori Week on February 24-28, 2025, as we plan a number of events to showcase what is unique and impactful about Montessori education. During the week, the Children’s House and Erdkinder students will partner to provide “high tea” to E1 and E2 students, a featured practical life activity for Montessori schools. On Wednesday, Bluffview staff will share a favorite “work-of-the-hands” with students, recognizing in the Montessori philosophy that the hand is the “tool which can make what the mind sees real.” The renowned spoken word poetry company Project Voice will perform for Erdkinder students and lead them in a spoken word workshop. Thursday evening features our annual Spaghetti Dinner where students practice the Montessori virtues of service and courtesy. On Friday, all students will receive a free Bluffview t-shirt for their “going out” day where students apply classroom learning in real-world settings.
Tales From the Barnyard Play
Students in CH and E1 will be watching the play during school hours on 2/28.
