What is your favorite part of Inly? I’m drawn to peace at the core of the education. Tell us a fun fact about yourself. I am a first generation college graduate. (Being a first-generation college student means that you are the first person in your immediate family to attend college. In other words, neither of your parents has a college degree.) How do you think the teaching methods are different or the same from others you used to teach or what you grew up with? The teaching methods are innovative and unique allowing both the teacher and the student to grow exponentially. Have you ever worked at a Montessori school before Inly? Yes I have, Bay Farm Montessori Academy. Could you tell us what you do at Inly? I am a substitute teacher, and I help coordinate coverage needs across campus
Interview with Catherine McConnell What was your job before you came to Inly? I worked in Rockland as a 3rd and 1st grade teacher. Do you have any pets? No pets, but I do have a ton of clams - probably too many.
How are you liking Inly so far? Inly has been great. It has been so nice to meet so many amazing people. What is your favorite color? Green What is your favorite book? My favorite book is the Hunger Games series and my favorite book to read to kids is Julius: The Baby of the World. What is your favorite movie? Titanic How do you think Covid is changing the school so far? Splitting up the classes into cohorts. Tell us a fun fact about yourself. My fun fact is that I've climbed part of Mt. Kilimanjaro!

Interview with Caroline deLima Rubb What was your job before you came to Inly? I was a toddler teacher at the Montessori World School in Orlando Florida. Do you have any pets? If you do, what kind of animal are they and what is their name? We just got a new puppy! Her name is Rosi and she is a Labrador Sharpei mix. How are you liking Inly so far? I love Inly so far. Even during this strange pandemic year, I am so happy to working here! What is your favorite color? Yellow What is your favorite book? I love the book, Don’t Let The Pigeon Drive the Bus buy Mo Willems. It makes me laugh every time. What is your favorite movie? There are two movies that I will watch whenever they come on. Silence of the Lambs and Pride and Prejudice. How do you think Covid is changing the school so far? It’s hard to tell because I didn’t know the school before the pandemic. I think the Toddler House is fairly normal with the exception of not having food prep and part of our curriculum. I also think I will know more of the staff when Covid is in the rear window. What is your favorite part of Inly? Another tough question! I love being in my classroom — the children are amazing. And my coworkers are extraordinary. It’s a very stimulating environment.
Tell us a fun fact about yourself. I discovered after working here for a few months that I am related, by marriage to the Hollenback family! Amanda (LE3 teacher) and I are cousins by marriage, and we both attended a family wedding in Jackson Hole WY thirty years ago but didn’t know each other! How do you think the teaching methods are different or the same from others you used to teach or what you grew up with? Montessori is vastly different from the educational system in which I was raised. That system focused merely on results. Grades and standardized tests were the way you saw your value as a student. I love that Montessori fosters the love of learning; that the product is often not as focused on as the process. This shift builds life-long learners. Have you ever worked at a Montessori school before Inly? I did. My last teaching position was at a Montessori School. Could you tell us what you do at Inly? I am a teacher in Toddler House Three. I am responsible for creating an environment that stimulates the children’s curiosity and independence. My co-teacher (Stephanie) and I provide a loving, respectful space for many of the school’s youngest students to feel safe and valued away from home. I also work in partnership with the parents of our students to provide consistent guidance to our young friends. Lastly, I am part of a team of educators and administrators who are focused on our students’ success as learners and community members.

She looked in her usual sleeping spots; her bed, the big chair, the sun spot on the floor near the back door. She called her… nothing. She shook her treat bag… nothing. Could she have gotten out!? No, not possible. Was she stuck in a drawer? A cabinet? Colleen checked - three times! Finally, she sat on the couch, feeling worried and completely puzzled. Suddenly, a little paw reached out and tapped her on the shoulder. The little sneak had been on the back of the couch THE WHOLE TIME! She was perfectly camouflaged against the fluffy brown blanket and tan leather couch.

Soccer By Patrick O’Connor
Did you know that soccer started more than 2,000 years ago in ancient China, and it is currently the most popular sport in the world? I have been playing soccer since I was 3 years old, and my dad has always been my coach. Right now I play on a team called South Shore Select. Here are ten interesting facts about soccer: 1.
Soccer was originally called “association football” and then shortened to “soccer” about 200 years ago in Britain so that they could tell the difference between Rugby Football and Association Football. The United States preferred to call it soccer because we also had the sport of football over here, but everywhere else in the world calls it football, or futbal.
2. Professional soccer is played 11 vs 11 including the goalie. 3. A soccer field is 115 yards long, and 75 yards wide. 4. A net is 8 ft high, and 24 ft wide. 5. Soccer is played in the summer olympics. Brazil was the winner in the Summer 2016 Olympics. 6. These are some of the famous soccer stadiums: The Allianz Arena in Germany, Old Trafford in United Kingdom, Camp Nou in Spain, Azteca in Mexico, Santiago Bernabeu in Spain, Anfield Road in United Kingdom, San Siro in Italy, The Maracana in Rio de Janeiro, and Soccer City in South Africa. 7.
The World Cup is like the SuperBowl of soccer, and is played every four years. All throughout the tournament different countries compete against each other. The top two teams face each other to win the World Cup. The World Cup was last played in 2018 and was won by France.
8. There is a league called MLS, which stands for Major League Soccer. The local team that plays in that league is called the New England Revolution. They play their games at Gillette Stadium, which is also where the New England Patriots play. 9. There are 32 panels on a traditional soccer ball, each one representing each country in Europe. 10. One of the greatest soccer players of all time is Pele, who played for Brazil. He scored 1,282 goals in 1,366 games!
Soccer is my favorite sport and I hope you enjoyed these ten fun facts about soccer. If you have any other questions, come find me in UE1!

THE WESTING GAME by Ellen Raskin The Westing Game is a suspenseful mystery that is super hard to put down. A group of random people come together for the reading of Samuel W. Westing’s will, but soon find themselves in the middle of a plot-twisting mystery with blizzards, burglaries, and murderers. Any fan of Nancy Drew or just a general mystery lover will appreciate this book.
ENOLA HOLMES AND THE CASE OF THE MISSING MARQUESS by Nancy Springer Enola Holmes and the Case of the Missing Marquess is the first of a six book series of mysteries set in mid-1800's London. Enola Holmes is the sister of Sherlock Holmes, and sets off to solve a mystery herself when her mother goes missing.

Granola Recipe by Ana Ingredients: ¼ cup vegetable oil 3 tablespoons of maple syrup 1 tablespoon of brown sugar ¼ teaspoon of salt 2 ½ cups of rolled oats Chocolate chips Dried fruit (Optional) (Toppings can be whatever you prefer!)
Instructions: ★ Preheat oven to 325 degrees fahrenheit. Spray 9x9 inch pan with cooking spray. ★ In a medium bowl combine vegetable oil, maple syrup, brown sugar, and salt with a rubber spatula. Add in the oats and stir to combine ★ TIP: I like to add some chocolate chips before I put the pan into the oven so it melts into little chocolatey clusters. ★ Put the pan in the oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the oats are light brown, but not burnt. ★ Wait for it to cool before taking a fork and breaking it up into clusters. Make sure it is room temperature before putting in the other toppings you would like.

Secrets by Mazey Pehrson A SHORT STORY, part II “Cockatoo!” squawked Jayfeather, right in Mariana’s face. Mariana groaned. It was Monday, and after Miley went with her moms to the hospital, Mari had spent Sunday teaching Jayfeather new words. “Miley and Molly are nice! Get well soon! Thank you!” Jayfeather continued as Mariana kicked off her covers and shrugged off her pajamas. ‘Apparently my older sister has also taught Jayfeather some new words,’ thought Mari, as Jayfeather fluttered around the room squawking, “Lookin’ hot, baby!” and some other things that were not for polite company. Mariana combed her hair and brushed her teeth, then went downstairs to find Jayfeather squawking curses at her mom who was arguing with her older sister Alyssa. “Exactly where did the bird learn those words?” her mother demanded. Alyssa turned pale. Mariana suppressed a smile as she grabbed a granola bar and smoothie from the fridge. She hugged her mom goodbye and went out to the garage where her violet scooter with a pattern of blue dolphins was waiting. She had nicknamed it “Dolphina” because of the pattern, and grinned as she plopped the granola bar in her backpack and the smoothie in the scooter’s dolphin-shaped cup holder. “This is going to be a great day,” Mari said aloud as she cruised out of the garage. Then, as she passed Miley’s house, looked in Miley’s window, and saw no one in her bed, Mari’s stomach lurched. She remembered what had happened on Saturday, and the dark clouds in the sky burst open, mirroring Mari’s feelings. Molly woke up to rain pouring in through her window, which she hadn't closed last night regarding the nice spring weather. As she got up sluggishly to close her window, she saw Miley’s empty room, where they sometimes passed messages. Her chest tightened as she remembered. Mari and Molly’s parents had tried to distract them with a movie night, but to no avail. Molly fell asleep halfway through Little Women, and Mari joined her when kissing started up in Sleepless In Seattle. ‘Why rush to get out of bed?’ Molly thought as she launched herself facedown on the bed. ‘There’s no one to get up for.’ When her mother came up to tell her that she had better get a move on, Molly didn’t even look up, and said, “I don’t feel so well. Can I stay home today?” Her mother felt her forehead and agreed. Molly spent the rest of the day in bed, occasionally doodling on a sketchpad or reading books. She was halfway through The Curious Cat Spy Club, the book that had brought the three girls together, when the door to her bedroom slammed open, and she jumped about a foot in the air. “Mari!” she said, when she saw who it was. She removed The Curious Cat Spy Club from the place where it had fallen (on her foot), and set it on her nightstand. “Miley’s not here today,” Mari panted. “Well, of course not,” said Molly. “You should stay home tomorrow, too. That way I can have someone to talk to.”
INLY INQUIRER | 20 | SPRING 2021
“Talk to,” Mari mused. “I’ve got it!” She rummaged around in her pocket until she found two battered-looking walkie-talkies, the ones Miley had originally given to them when they had first met. “I’ll bring mine to school, and give you regular updates.” “And I’ll listen to Miley’s parents making calls,” cried Molly, catching on. Miley had a walkie-talkie too, and she had left it on on the kitchen table. They high-fived, pleased with their plan. Molly had heard Miley’s parents making dozens of calls. She wrote down every single thing she heard, and she doodled to help her remember the things she couldn’t spell. She had read about a survey in her new magazine, where scientists had people listening to really long, boring phone calls. Half of the people were instructed to doodle, half of the people were not. The people who doodled remembered more, so of course she doodled. When Mari came to Molly’s at the end of every school day, she always had the same exact news, “Miley’s not here today.” But on Friday, Molly said, “I’ve got some news for you.” Mari sat down on Molly’s bed, and listened. Molly didn’t tell her all the long, boring stuff, but instead told her important things, like “Miley and her moms are going to the hospital tomorrow!” So of course there was only one thing to do, or so they thought. “Let’s follow them!” the girls said at the exact same time. On Saturday, Molly and Mari had told their parents they were going to have a playdate, which was true. It was just a different kind of playdate than their parents thought. “Here we are, right on schedule,” said Mari. Molly winked, and continued skateboarding along the sidewalk. Mari was in the lead on her scooter, following the sleek, blue Honda. When it finally stopped, Molly and Mari gave a sigh of relief. They had thought they would have to go all the way to Boston. After Miley was carried in through the white revolving doors, Mari and Molly dashed up to the doors, but a man in a black suit was waiting there. “Where are your guardians?” he barked at them briskly. “You can’t come in here alone.” The girls tried to explain, but the man dismissed them. Molly tried to plead but Mari grabbed Molly and pulled her behind a bush. They covered the scooter and skateboard with leaf litter, and listened. Miley and Mari sidled themselves up to the window. They only heard snippets of things, because the window was not open, but they did hear one thing loud and clear, “Miley has cancer.” They both gasped at the same time, and then cursed themselves for being so noisy. Sure enough, a woman with a kind-looking face, short white-blonde hair, and peach lipstick turned to the window. “I thought I heard something,” she said in a soft voice. “Probably just animals, but I am going to go check.” The girls ducked behind the bushes and scurried to the scooter and skateboard. They took off before anyone was the wiser.

Miley was rolled into a big, white room on a bed with wheels. There was lots of equipment all around, and she saw many sharp needles, which she was frightened by. The doctor and the nurse came in, and told her to lie back and put on a strange mask. She felt sleepy the minute it touched her nose, and she fell asleep. The moment her eyes closed a dream swam before her eyelids. It was Mari and Molly, but they turned their backs on her, and laughed. “We were better without her,” Mari’s voice echoed. “She wasn’t very funny,” Molly laughed. “I wonder where she is now.” Mari giggled, “Don’t know and don’t care.” Then they faded away, and Miley felt like she was falling into an abyss. Voices were calling her name, but maybe it was Molly and Mari wanting to tease her again. She didn’t answer. She felt poking, prodding, and pinching. Like she was wrapped in thorny vines. She didn’t cry out for fear Molly and Mari would call her a baby. Then the piece of rubble she was standing on crumbled into pieces, and she fell, and fell, and fell, then all was black. Molly and Mari were gliding along the sidewalk when the sleek, blue Honda, that belonged to the Lances, whizzed past them. Molly hoped she had imagined it, but she heard a noise that sounded like crying. Mari hoped it was just the dark back window, but she didn’t see Miley inside. Molly and Mari glanced at one another. They were both thinking the same thing,’Is Miley ok.?’ They rolled along in silence for the rest of the ride home. Back at Molly’s house, she curled up into a ball under the covers. Molly’s dad came in, and told her, “This Monday I think you have to go back to school.” It was just the thing Molly had been dreading--to look at that empty seat between her and Mari. Miley was really the one thing that had held Mari and Molly together, like glue. Without her, Molly and Mari would never truly be friends. ‘Oh, stop using past tense,’ she told herself, and fell into an uncomfortable, dreamless sleep. Back at Mari’s house, she was thinking the same thing. She curled up on the couch, and her older sister, Alyssa, sat down beside her. Mari grabbed her, and they embraced until dinner was ready. Monday dragged on slowly and painfully. Miley’s empty seat seemed to draw Mari’s eyes, but she could only glance at it for a few seconds at a time, because looking at it made her stomach ache with longing to see Miley again. Molly nearly passed a note to Miley without realizing and then sadly passed it to Mari. The hands of the clock on the wall seemed to move as slowly as a sleeping sloth. Finally, FINALLY, the hands struck 2:30, and Mari forced herself out of her seat. Molly used her backpack to push herself up. The next few days went by as slowly as Monday, and on bad days, time seemed to drag by even slower. Molly never made her usual jokes, and Mari didn’t teach Jayfeather anything new. When Jayfeather asked “Where Miley?”, Mari burst into tears. Even the arrival of the baby chicks on Molly’s farm didn’t cheer her up. Soon it was the last week of school, and the girls gave up even their last glimmer of hope of ever seeing Miley again. They couldn’t bring themselves to wear anything silly on Wacky Wednesday, Molly’s favorite holiday, and they sat out for Field Day, Mari’s favorite day. When it came time for the
INLY INQUIRER | 22 | SPRING 2021
special trip that only their grade was going on, Camp Acorn, that Miley had been so excited for, Mari and Molly begged their parents not to go. They didn’t think they would be able to bear it, but their families insisted. “You know how sad you’d be if you missed this once in a lifetime opportunity!” “You don’t know if you don’t like it if you’ve never been there!” “If you get scared or homesick, just call us. But you won’t know if you don’t even try!” Finally, after two hours, the girls gave in. They got on the bus to leave with as much enthusiasm as they had on Monday. Mari stared out the window sadly while Molly zoned out, clearly remembering the Post-Cancer times they had together. But she was remembering one time in particular. The day they met.
“So, Molls!” Mariana giggled. “ Did you know there’s a new family moving into the house in between us?” “Really?!” Squealed Molly. “ Are there any girls our age?” “Let’s find out!” Mariana dashed up to ring the doorbell. As her finger hovered over the doorbell, they heard a voice from up above: “Up here!” There was a girl about their age up on the roof with binoculars. “How did you get up there?!” Mari asked in disbelief. “ Through my window,”The girl called down. She had a British accent. “ Heads up!” And the girl unrolled a tarp and slid down it to the ground. “I’m Miley. Miley Lance.” She extended a fingerless-gloved hand. Mari shook it. “ I like to spy on people. Sorry if I startled you. I’m currently reading The Curious Cat Spy Club.” “I’m currently reading Harry Potter And The Sorcerer’s Stone,” countered Mari. They went on for a bit until they got to Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows, and then Molly added, “ But the two of us also read Curious Cat Spy Club.” “Maybe the three of us should start a club,”mused Miley. “I think the three of us will be great friends.” “Favorite three Harry Potter characters on three!” cried Mariana. “3, 2, 1!” “Ginny, Hermione, and Luna!” “Harry Potter character you are most like!”added Molly. “Luna!”said Molly. “Ginny!” said Miley. “Hermione!” said Mari. “Hogwarts house!” continued Miley. “Ravenclaw!” “Yup,” agreed Molly, “Great-“

“Friends!” called a nearby counselor, startling Molly out of her daydreaming. “We’re here! Listen closely to the Camp Acorn norms!” Mari and Molly listened half heartedly as they dragged their duffel bags into their cabin. It was made out of logs, and there was one three-tiered bunk in each room with forest green pillowy mattresses. “Three tiered bunks,” mused Mari sadly. “Just like Miley told us.” She broke into tears while Molly patted her back. “I wonder who is our other bunk mate?” Molly asked in a wildly transparent way to change the subject. But she had said the wrong thing. Tears started pouring onto the bed. “It’s all right,” said a voice. “There’s really nothing to cry about.” Mari turned around slowly. “ Don’t say that just to make me feel be-“ And there was Miley, hanging down from the top bunk, the one she had requested from the counselors, smiling just the same as always, except a little paler and a new short haircut, rubbing Mari’s back in the way that always made her feel better. Molly and Mari screamed and leapt onto the top bunk to embrace their best friend. As they started chatting and Molly began to talk about the chicks at her farm, there was an indignant squawk, a riiiiiiiiiiiiip noise, and the window screen tore, revealing a bedraggled bird, which dive bombed Molly’s head. “No forget me!” Jayfeather indignantly squawked, and then pecked Miley’s ear. “Where you been? Get well soon!” The girls erupted in giggles, and instantly knew they had a lot to catch up on.
