Evidenced by the red and pink hearts, candy, and flowers displayed in stores everywhere, February is a special month. Not only do we acknowledge Valentine\u2019s Day on February 14th<\/sup> with little exhibits of love and kindness for those around us, but we also celebrate Montessori Education Week February 24th<\/sup> \u2013 February 28th<\/sup> and pay tribute to Dr. Maria Montessori with gratitude for the incredible philosophy of education she shared with us over 100 years ago.<\/p>\n

Mrs. Adamo, Mrs. Fasolas, and Mrs. McShane, three of our MCA Head Teachers, recently asked the students in their classes what they love most about their Montessori classrooms and what they think is important about school. What follows are some of the quotes and written
\nresponses shared by the children.<\/p>\n
