Happy New Year!

Happy new year from all of us at The Orchard. The children and staff have returned after a restful holiday break to a new and refreshed practical life section in the casa. We added several new pieces of work including textiles, measuring and pouring, transferring liquids and solids, screwdrivers and hex bolts and a classic piece of Montessori work, Walking the Ellipse.  This reorganization in the casa will be followed by the expansion of the arts extension and the addition of a science extension. Best wishes to all for a wonder-filled and productive year!
