A Message From Mrs. Walker

Sun, 13 Jul 2008 20:27:16 -0400

We had a little baby girl Monday morning at 2:40 am. Her name is Calla Mae Walker and she weighed 8 lbs. 1 oz, is 22 inches long and has a good amount of hair on her head. It was a long delivery-almost 24 hours, but well worth the wait, she is absolutely wonderful. She is a very peaceful baby so far, sleeps a lot and rarely cries, but there's lots of time for that.

Welcome To Our New Primary Teacher

After many years of involvement at The Duluth Montessori School, first as a parent, then as a substitute teacher, Stacy Robinson joins our teaching staff. An Ohio native, she completed her undergraduate degree from The Ohio State University with a B.S.B.A. in Transportation and Logistics. Soon after becoming a mother, she developed an interest in Montessori education and completed her AMI training in 2001 at the Montessori Institute of Atlanta. Shortly thereafter, she and her family relocated to California where she taught a primary class at Valley Montessori School, as well as created a Montessori compatible extended day program. After welcoming a second son into her family and relocating back to Atlanta, she stepped away from teaching to care for her children full time. She is excited and enthusiastic to return to the classroom.

Mrs. Robinson has lived in Suwanee for the past 6 years. Her oldest son, Aidan, is entering the 4th grade at Riverside Elementary and her youngest son, Jake, will be a student in our elementary program. She and her husband, Eric, spend their free time playing tennis, boating, and relaxing with their children.

Upper Elementary Students Write and Record a Song

Tue, 13 May 2008 11:44:57 -0400

At nature’s classroom my friends and I started to write a song because Mr. Willingham brought his guitar. He just started playing the guitar. He thought we should make a song. My friends and I agreed. It took October 3rd through January 10th. We named our song Roots and Wings.

The recording studio was in a house. One of Mr. Willingham’s friends owned the house. His name was Bert. We sang in front of a solid gold microphone. It was a great experience. I felt, in the beginning like it was never going to end. But it got very fun. I was scared that I had to sing in front of people but since this experience I got to be a better singer.
