Sweet Gifts

"That best portion of a good man's life, 
His little, nameless, unremembered acts
of kindness and of love."
           ---William Wordsworth

November is candy time in Montessori!

Each student brought some candy from Halloween trick-or-treating to add to our collection.

Then the candy was sorted. Is this chocolate? Is this chewy?

Decisions, decisions!!
We counted lots of chocolate bars.

When you are packing a bag for a gift, be sure to include a variety!

Think: What would you like to receive?

And, don't forget a lollipop!

We filled many gift bags for Gift of Peace and hope everyone enjoys a sweet treat!

One hundred bags of candy will be delivered to Gift of Peace by the Agnew family. Many thanks to Tom in grade 8 for helping us continue this tradition for nine years. I know the sisters appreciate the children's generosity. But even more importantly, they appreciate the love and care each child put into packing his gift bags.


"No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted."

Happy Thanksgiving!
