A Special Birthday! On this very brisk Tuesday morning, students from room 279 bundled up in their hats, mittens, and boots and headed out the door to visit their friend Mrs. Turk at the Sancta Maria Nursing Facility on Concord Ave. She was celebrating her 98th birthday! It was a cold walk, but the students were greeted with warm smiles from Mrs. Turk and staff at the nursing facility. Students, staff, and old friends enjoyed spending time with their special friend and wishing her a Happy Birthday!
Today's Teamwork. Tomorrow's Success.
Everybody chips in to help on these icy mornings in April!

Dance in the Schools Room 209 has been participating in the Dancing in the Schools' Program. Dancing in the Schools provides the children with exposure to a multi-cultural dance curriculum, through participating in teacher-led group dances with accompanying, lively music. This program is also great because the children are team building and collaborating by learning the group dances. The history of each dance is told in a story telling fashion, to help children make connections and remember specific moves. I have so enjoyed this wonderful program, dancing with the children and watching them laugh, smile, move, and learn.

Spotlight on Louise Parise Get to know the "always-in-the-know" Louise with this handy Q&A! What roads led you to the Tobin Montessori School? I grew up in Cambridge, and I still live here with my husband and kids. I went to the Fitzgerald School, now known as the Peabody School. I also went to CRLS and all three of my kids attend CPS. I have been working for food services for a number of years now and I have been here at the Tobin for three years. The best part about working in the cafeteria is you get to know and say to hello ALL the students from age 3 to grade 8! When school is closed because of a snow storm, what do you like to do? I like to catch up on some sleep...do some laundry and tidy and organize my house! Who would you like to play you in a movie? Drew Barrymore Which do you prefer: ocean or lake? Neither...I can't swim. Favorite sports team? Anything Boston, especially the Red Sox! Coffee or tea? Neither...Mountain Dew Favorite flavor ice cream? Anything chocolate
