News from the Erdkinder

Late Autumn is a busy time in the Erdkinder. A very successful feast was coordinated and prepared. This year the students made family dishes of special significance. The result was a wonderful lunch of non-traditional Feast food. We have also been grateful to return to many off-campus activities for both physical expressions and community work. Outings have included bowling, ice skating, and participating in “Stretch and Chat” at Pioneer Ridge Independent Living Center.

Currently, students are busy preparing for our Winter Market. This represents a culmination of their Occupations work. Whether it’s preparing food items in the kitchen, creating crafts, constructing wooden items in the shop, or growing plants and vegetables in the greenhouse, the students get to showcase and sell the “fruits of their labor.”

Dr. Montessori often spoke about the importance of a marketplace for adolescents to create and sell goods. In her book, From Childhood to Adolescence, she wrote: “...the children can take turns to give real help in the work, and they will make the place attractive by their youth and happiness as well as by their industry and resourcefulness. And so the business would develop little by little through the cooperation of the parents, the instructors, and the children themselves.”

Please come join us for the Erdkinder Winter Market on Thursday, December 8 and Friday, December 9 from 3:45 to 5:30 p.m. in the Erdkinder Main Classroom in the Phoenix Building.

Thank you, Kyle Koederitz, Erdkinder Guide ... See MoreSee Less
