We’re celebrating

Maria Montessori’s

birthday!

143 YEARS AGO! August 31, 1870

CELEBRATE MONTESSORI EDUCATION

Maria Montessori was an Italian physician, educator, and innovator, acclaimed for

her educational method that builds on the way children naturally learn. The AMS

curriculum is founded on this child-centered, creative, world cultures philosophy.

Help us celebrate Dr. Montessori’s birthday, by bringing a donation item to school the

week of August 26th. Baskets for donations will be by the front desk. Suggestions

include: watercolor paint sets, markers, crayons, facial tissues, tri-fold paper

towels, toilet paper or even non-perishable peanut-free snacks.

Help us celebrate Maria Montessori’s impact on our children.

The first thing to be done, therefore, is to discover the true nature of a child and then assist him in his normal development. -Maria Montessori
