Summer School at Annabelle's Montessori



Montessori school runs from September to the end of June. For the month of July, there is summer school, with the same hours as the regular school year. Then, there is a break in August.

Since Annabelle didn't start school, we wanted to sign her up for summer school, to expand her knowledge of Spanish, to socialize with the kids, and to keep her busy!

In the end, it was a great decision, as Annabelle really enjoyed summer school! Summer school focused more on art than the regular school year, which Annabelle seemed to love. She was very excited to bring home her finger paintings (above), as well as her other art projects below!

**Side note: At the beginning of summer school, when the finger paintings came home, I noticed that Annabelle's name was being spelled with only one "n". After emailing the school's director, the next day's project came home spelled correctly. At Annabelle's school, and in Mexico in general, Annabelle is pronounced "Anabelle", stressing the first "A", not the n's. Ana seems to be a pretty popular name here, with there being several Ana's at Annabelle's school.
