Trip Around The World

First Stop- Asia
​
On Monday we traveled to the culture- rich continent of Asia. While exploring the continent, we learned the names of the 49 countries.

Our tour of the continent focused on Sri Lanka, India and Pakistan. We learned about culture, tradition, clothing and geographical location.

Second stop- Africa

​Tuesday we traveled to the Continent of Africa. While on our visit to Africa we learned the name of all 54 countries.
​
We did a deep dive into Nigerian culture & tradition. The children appreciated the bold shapes & colors in the African textiles.

On Tuesday we also enjoyed getting our bodies moving by participating in Games From Around The World.

The kids enjoyed having snowball fights in Antarctica, and playing pass the water outside.

Next Stop- Europe!
​Wednesday we had a very special visit from Mr. Carlos. Mr. Carlos works with the airlines and shared about what its like working up-close and personal with the airplane on the Tarmac. Our BMS travelers enjoy hearing first hand experience from our parents. Thank you Mr. Carlos!

After learning about airplanes, we strapped our seatbelts and traveled to beautiful Greenland and we caught a glimpse of the Aurora Borealis AKA the Northern Lights. We marveled at the greens & purples before we were off to a land down under........

Next Stop- Australia!!
​Australia, the land down under. What a fun continent to explore, we learn about Kangaroos, the Australian Flag and everyone's new favorite snack Fairy Bread.

While learning about Australia we integrated a very fun culinary lesson in which we made an iconic Australian treat, consisting of white bread, butter, and round sprinkles.

Following our culinary lesson on Australia, Ms. Kate did a beautiful presentation on her home country, Ukraine.

Ms. Kate had so much to share with us, she brought traditional cookware, photos, and even crafted a small scale Ukrainian home. she also demonstrated how to wear some clothing.

We learned that the Blue & Yellow Ukrainian Flag symbolizes the blue sky & the yellow wheat fields. Thank you so much Ms. Kate for sharing about your home.

Final Stop- South America!
​Friday, we traveled somewhere close to home. We traveled to our neighbor South America.

While caravanning around the diverse continent of South America, we learned about Frida Kahlo. We learned about her flower crowns and self portrait. We again appreciated the bright colors in which she painted. Instead of creating a self portrait, we observed a bindle of Bluebonnets and replicated them on our paper with paint & q-tips.

​While we painted, we wore Frida's famous flower crowns and listened to Latin music to get inspired.

Thank you so much for taking this trip with us, now kick back and get some rest before we go on our next big adventure!

Father’s Day 2023

June is always exciting as we have our Father’s Day event to look forward to. This year's theme was Rainforest Cafe! Our Primary classes transformed their montessori classroom into a tropical jungle. We enjoyed painting different jungle creatures and hanging them around the classroom. As usual, our Primary Students worked very hard to choreograph a lovely performance for their Daddies! They also took their time perfecting their Father’s Day crafts and created beautiful gifts for their Daddies. Our toddlers enjoyed having a crafting session with their Dads and socializing over snacks. These events are so special to us and are a great opportunity to meet and network with other members of our Blossoms Family. Happy Father’s Day to all of our hard working Dads!

COMMUNITY HELPER

Our summer program started with a wonderful unit to honor our Community Helpers. During this week we learned about the people who play important roles in our community, like doctors, mailmen, firefighters, police officers, bakers, and hairstylists. We learned that we as a society need all of these important members to function. Children enjoyed learning about each role, and at the end of the week they got to choose what they want to be when they grow up. This year we had an interactive community helper session. Our classes enjoyed hearing from Ms. April, a Sonographer, Mr. Rob, a Construction Man, The Zitzmann Family from the Harris County Precinct 4 Constable's Office, and Mr. Garrett from the Harris County Sheriff's Office. Our toddlers really enjoy seeing these people in “real life.” How exciting it is to try on a police vest, a construction hat, we even got to see what an ultrasound looks like. Thank you to all of our Parent Volunteers who dedicate their time not only in their professions, but also to our youth! What a beautiful example of Community Togetherness we are able to share with our students. ​​

HAWAII FRIDAY 2023

The school year has come and gone, what better way to end the year than with a tropical trip to Hawaii! This year, to kick off our summer program, we took a trip to the islands and enjoyed  a “Hawaii Friday”. All of our little travelers wore their best Luau gear and smiled for a picture in front of our Aloha backdrop. After our summer fun photo session, we all got to try tropical fruits together. The children enjoyed trying pineapple, watermelon, and fresh mixed berries. Our day continued with a little hula dance fun, and we ended our first Fun Friday with popsicles. The perfect way to kick off our Summer of Fun.

GRADUATION 2023

​We are glad to announce Blossoms Montessori School’s very first Graduation Ceremony in which we honored our Kindergarten graduates. Throughout their third and final year in the Montessori Primary Program, our children have exhibited remarkable growth and accomplishments. Our graduation Ceremony was such a treat, and the Primary students worked very hard to get every detail just right. Our parents smiled as the children sang their songs and accepted their certificates. We closed our ceremony with the celebratory hat toss and cake cutting. We take pride in celebrating the achievements of our graduates and we also extend an invitation for all our children to continue their educational journey with us, reaping the full benefits of our Montessori Kindergarten program. We would like our children to be the one that makes a difference in the world. Many renowned individuals, such as Larry Page and Sergey Brin (co-founders of Google), Jeff Bezos (founder of Amazon), Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis (former First Lady of the United States), and numerous others who have achieved recognition through their hard work, have attended Montessori schools during their childhood. We extend our heartfelt wishes to our Blossoms Graduates for their continued success.

Mother’s Day Event 2023

Each year we put great preparation into celebrating and honoring all of our BMS Mothers. Our primary children learned a beautiful song to perform, and spent a whole week preparing their beautiful crafts. Our toddlers enjoyed having their Moms in their classroom, where they shared snacks & did craft together. And our NIDO Mothers were invited for snacks, socializing and were able to see how their little ones interact with their friends. Happy Mother’s Day to all of our Blossoms Mothers.

​

Teacher Appreciation & Staff Development 2023

Welcome To Paradise! Each year we take a full day to personally honor and recognize each of our Teachers and show them just how much they mean to us. Our day begins with an interactive sharing session where all of our Teachers collaborate and present a classroom lesson. We all learn from each other different techniques that bring success to our Montessori environment. We then take a moment to honor each Teacher and have a catered lunch together. This years Staff Development session ended with a very special training from Ms. Pamela Green. We are so pleased to have the opportunity to give our teachers this special day to bond and learn together. Happy Teacher Appreciation to all of our Educators.

SPRING EGG HUNT - 2023

Spring has Sprung, and all of our BMS Angels know what that means..... Our annual Spring Egg Hunt! Seeing our little chickies and bunnies collect eggs brings pure joy to our hearts.

And thank you to all of our BMS Parents who help us  make these events possible.

IN-HOUSE FIELD TRIP 2023-Dental Visit ​

To expand on our teeth unit, we enjoyed a visit from one of our very own BMS Parents who is a dentist. Dr. Tanya Flesher came to share about dental hygiene and healthy eating habits. She brought giant teeth models and toothbrushes to make her presentation interactive and fun for our BMS angels. We wrapped up the visit with a fun craft, and Dr. Flesher was so kind to bring us some Element Dental goodies as well. Thank you for caring about our shiny teeth and us! ​

VALENTINE'S DAY CELEBRATION - 2023

​Love is in the air at Blossoms Montessori School! We were so delighted to see all of our BMS angels wearing their festive colors.

Everyone enjoyed our annual Valentines exchange, it is so wonderful to see the children's faces light up when they receive a card from their friends. Happy Valentines from our Blossoms Family to yours. 

CHRISTMAS -2022

“It’s the most wonderful time of the year! ‘Tis the season of fun! December is always a wonderful month at Blossoms. Holiday cheer and good tidings are flowing through our classrooms.

IN-HOUSE FIELD TRIP 2022- Safety

​Stop! Drop! Roll! 
This week to finish up our "Safety" unit we invited one of our parents who is the Chief of our local Fire Department. He and his crew gave our children a wonderful presentation about fire safety. Ponderosa Fire Department brought one of their big, red, firetrucks and our kids enjoyed taking pictures with it. We learned about Stop, Drop, and Roll, and when to call 911. The children really enjoyed getting to see the interior of the Fire Truck and seeing the Fireman's gear. Again, we are so thankful for our parents' involvement in furthering the education of our BMS angels.  

IN-house field trip 2022- America

​Safety First! At Blossoms, we believe in safety first. Towards the end of our "America" unit, we invited our lovely Police Parents to do a presentation at our school. The children were taught about stranger danger, and when and why to call 911. Each child was able to sit in the police car and work the lights and sirens. The Police officers even brought goodies for our children. We are so thankful to have parents who go above and beyond for our students here at Blossoms. 

Father'S DAY CELEBRATION-Dounts with dad 2022

Finally, a day where Dads get the appreciation they deserve! We were so excited to host a Fathers Day event at Blossoms. Our BMS angels worked very hard to prepare for this special day with their dads. They learned songs and practiced every day. They made wonderful Daddy crafts and enjoyed getting to show their friends who their heroes are. We treated Dads with donuts and snacks before presenting them their gifts. Thank you to all the Daddies who came to show support.

in-house field trip of 2022 Agricultural

To kick off our Summer program we finally hosted our first in-house field trip of 2022! We were udderly excited to have Dairy Classroom pay us a visit. Peanut the cow arrived in her trailer and then all of our children learned where our milk comes from. During the presentation Peanut, the cow also was hooked up to a milking machine so we got to see how everything works in real time. The children got to take home coloring books and Dairy personnel were kind enough to give our teachers some lesson plans to further their agricultural studies. This field trip was very educational but everyone's favorite part was hearing Peanut "MOOOOO". We are so excited to have more field trips this summer so stay tuned to see who shows up next. 

Graduation 2022

Blossoms Montessori School class of 2022! This year we have our largest group of graduates leaving and moving on to big kid school. We decided to throw them a special graduation pizza party. Our not-so-little graduates had a blast taking pictures with their friends and celebrating their years of hard work here. We were lucky enough to have our photographer come in and get some cap and gown photos too. We were so happy to present the children with their certificates and give them a party to remember. Congratulations to all of our BMS graduates, we know you’ll do great things.

Teachers in-service day & Teachers appreciation day 2022

We had so much fun at our annual Staff Appreciation Ceremony and Training. Each year we celebrate the appreciation for our teachers that they deserve. During our appreciation our teachers share their experiences regarding classroom materials, presenting lessons, or overall classroom care. This is a great opportunity to learn more about classroom management and always keep our skills developing. Following our presentations, we do a wonderful awards ceremony to specially recognize our teachers and staff who have gone above and beyond this school year. Following our awards, we enjoy games and then a delicious catered lunch. Everyone loves the staff luncheon, it gives us time to socialize and kick our feet up for a few before we begin setting our classrooms for the new school year.

MOTHER'S DAY CELEBRATION - MUFFINS WITH MOM 2022

Let's face it, none of us would be here if it wasn't for our Mothers. Mothers teach us how to love, how to care, and how to know when we're being cared for. And we wanted to show them just how much we care about them. This week at Blossoms we were so thrilled to invite all of our beautiful Mothers to come see our classrooms, meet other moms and even get a peek at their children's favorite lessons. It was such a pleasure to have moms in our classrooms. Inviting our moms in gave them the opportunity to get up close and personal with the Montessori Method and allowed them to engage in conversation with their children about what they do in school. Education in school + Engagement at home helps build a strong foundation for our children. We look forward to more events like this in the future, thank you to all who attended. We wouldn't be here without you!
