Sukkot Fun

We love Sukkot at Tree of Life Montessori! We built and decorated our sukkah in the play yard. 


Families joined us for a backyard picnic and made some mini-sukkot out of boxes! 


We also shook the lulav and etrog! 

We did our own harvest in our school garden as well.

New Work

We put out new practical life work based on interests, needs, as well as seasons. 

Today the new work was foot washing - something kind to do for a friend! It was in use all day.
