Virtue of the Week
The virtue of the week for this week is thankfulness. Thankfulness
is being grateful for what you have. It is an attitude of gratitude
for learning, loving. And being. It is appreciating the little things
which happen around you and within you every day.
We will continue to celebrate and practice the virtue of thankfulness next week during our Thanksgiving holiday. Please be safe
and spend lots of time together with your friends and family.
On a personal note, I would like to take this opportunity to express
my thankfulness for such an incredible community of students,
teachers, parents, and community-at-large. I am grateful to be a
part of the Wilson Montessori Family!
Picture Orders are

Tip of the Week
Open the Doors to Math
Doors in your house are the perfect place for hands-on practice
with angles. Take turns opening
or closing a door and asking,
“Acute, right, or obtuse?” Partially open a door, and it’s an acute
angle. Open it straight out, and it
is a right angle. Open it wider,
and it is an obtuse angle.
These are great math conversations you can have without special materials!
