Today, I was happy to join @AFMontessori's students, families, and staff to celebrate the opening of the Erdkinder Program @auerfarm. 👨🏽🌾The new facility supports real-world learning for the Whole Student! Many thanks to all our state and local partners for their support. 🤗 👏🏽
What's the secret to a good school? Appreciating the hard work of our staff. This week we treated staff to lunch, gave them a large canvas tote bag and topped it off with a sunflower and vase. Thank you, AFM staff!
❤️d starting my week @AFMontessori! From inferencing, to evaluating claims in a text, to understanding place value, student rigor and engagement were on 🎯! #ProudSuper @VConner13
AFM teachers Dan Duesing and Alexia Zuliani spoke this weekend at OrganiConn, Northeast Organic Family Association of Connecticut’s annual conference. They highlighted their work with our students and meeting the need of the adolescent for meaningful work.
Fourth Grade AFM student Soumil Jain has qualified for the CT Geography Bee. In order to qualify he had to beat other students who competed at our school and take an on-line test. Only the top 100 students in the state qualify. Congratulations, Soumil!
Art teacher Liza Martin has been featuring the work of African American artists. This week students studied the colorful work of Alma Thomas and completed their own pieces in watercolor. @Hartford_Public
At Annie Fisher Montessori we were honored this week to be named a National Magnet School of Excellence by Magnet Schools of America. Congratulations to our excellent staff, devoted students, and caring families.
Parents enjoyed our "Come Get Cozy and Get a Lesson" event at AFM in December. Hot chocolate and lessons from their children made the morning very special.
