Montessori Notes: Many Montessori schools frown on fairy tales, and this is a loss. I did not have the chance to put on a Cinderella play, but during the 2009/2010 school year, my class wrote and performed a version of the Artemis myth. It was a huge success! The stag painting above is part of the scenery.
