Our week was busy, productive, and FUN! The class submitted the first round of literature response essays for the year, organized a sale of their custom CMS and Montessori-themed buttons for our Parent Education Night, and we even made it out on another adventure with the students of the MAP school for a morning of fishing at the educational lakes in Forest Park.  Work hard, play hard; that is the motto of our group this fall and we hope the great work continues.
