And so it begins...

August is here and the calendar is already full. I'm attending a meeting next week that will focus on school board elections. A group I'm becoming part of called Golden Beads supports public Montessori, and I'm excited to be part of it. I think we're going to host candidate forums for school board candidates.

We've also got a meeting coming up for our joint Site Councils. I'm glad we started the process of collaboration with the other public Montessori school in the district. I hope this is going to be the start of a strong relationship with them.

I haven't been there yet, but I hear the materials have been moved to the temporary school and are ready to be arranged on the shelves. Everything will be moved to this new location, and we expect to be there for the 2011-12 school year while our new school is under construction on our site. It is very exciting to see this happen.

In the meantime we're moving in to a new home, and I'm trying to deal with all of the necessary things that go along with my job as executive editor of the newspaper. My life is a schedule of meetings.  I'm so glad we had a nice vacation in June, and that July was pretty laid back and easy. We had almost a week without kids in the house.

With this move I'll be selling some of our Primary (Children's House) and Lower El materials. I'm hoping to post the list soon on Montessori Swap.

  1. I have been reading your blog for some time now, and figured out we live near each other when you got a bunch of materials at the same school closing I did. I can't remember if I've ever commented before; I'm a notorious lurker. I just wanted to say that I'm about to place a big order and would much rather buy used and pick up locally than pay for new and shipping. If the things you are clearing out include a metal inset stand (I already have the insets), a dressing frame stand (have those too), constructive triangles, grammar symbols, or (hope against hope) your complete bead material and cabinet, I would love if you would contact me at yomalyita AT gmail DOT com.

    Thanks, and good luck with your move!
