Sundrops Montessori Bridge Campus

Elsa stopped by our Holiday Bazaar today to share a song and take pictures with our guests. Thank you so much to everyone who donated, volunteered, or attended our event!

Always a fun time!!

Counting down the days!! We hope you will grab a friend and join us for this great event. Aaaaand, guess what? If you haven’t gotten your wreath or Christmas tree, we’ve extended the deadline through the weekend!

I love that this is being implemented!

Handcrafts is another one of our specials classes. The children learn to sew and embroider, among other handcrafts. These tasks help strengthen fine motor skills and improve a child’s ability to focus; and at the end of a task, you have a neat little memento to take home. Check out the current work of these talented 6 to 12-year-olds!

[11/08/19]   Big love and respect for our dedicated and deeply motivated Montessori guides. Our team is always operating at 110% - I attribute that to their complete commitment to following the child and keeping the flame of learning burning at full force. Thank you Ms. Svenja, Ms. Shannon and Ms. Karen for always going above and beyond to support our students and families - you are models of excellent Montessori guides everywhere and we are so fortunate to have your passion and vigor for a peaceful, logical education 🙂🥰

The Adolescents exercising mindfulness 🧘‍♀️

Mindfulness and solo time are important parts of our day. It gives us time to stop, enjoy the quiet, and really focus on what is going on right in front of us.

Did you see us walking down the street today? We had a blast at the park!

Lower Elementary students had a great afternoon at Mt. Pleasant Memorial Waterfront Park this afternoon. We walked there (it’s just a mile), had fun on the playground, celebrated a student’s birthday, celebrated our successful year of affirming one another for kind actions and words, had some treats, and took some photos before walking back to school.

Did you know we had a chess club? Looking for new members next school year - kindergarten and up!

We had a wonderful last chess club! We’ve had so much fun learning how to play and strategize, and students in kindergarten through sixth grade joined us every week to spend an hour together. Special thanks to third year Zel Hatfield for suggesting we start a club - he kept pushing for it, and it happened! Thanks to donations from parents and our own Ms. Tammy, we were able to have enough supplies to go around, and we were able to offer this club free of charge, so that everyone who wanted to participate could do so.
Today, Zel brought us homemade muffins to celebrate a successful run, and we took some serious (chess face) and silly group pictures.
We hope everyone gets a chance to practice and improve over the summer! Look for us next year!
