Dear Toddler Families,

We are excited to invite your family to be part of the Practical Life experiences happening in our classroom this year!

🧺 The Community Food and Flower Basket

Periodically, your child will bring home our Community Food and Flower Basket. Inside, you will find our master list of foods, with specific items highlighted for your family to choose from that week.

Your family will simply choose from the requested items, shop for them, and return them to school along with the basket.

The goal is participation—not sending anything elaborate or expensive! Grocery store flowers, flowers from your garden, simple seasonal bouquets, and everyday food items are all perfect.

🗓️ Planning Ahead

To make planning easier, each family will receive a calendar with your designated Community Food and Flower Prep weeks for the entire school year.

This calendar is simply for planning purposes. During your assigned week, the specific foods or flowers your family will be asked to bring will be highlighted on the community food list sent home in the basket. (See below)

Thank you for partnering with us to create a beautiful, purposeful, and connected Montessori environment. Through these shared contributions, the children will have the opportunity to experience the joy of preparing, serving, caring, and contributing to their classroom community.

We are so grateful for your partnership and look forward to a wonderful year of meaningful work together!

Warmly,

Morahs Megan and Sarah P
