Fraser Woods Montessori School

Our middle school and upper elementary students have been working incredibly hard as they prepare for the upcoming spring musical. From learning lines, songs, and dances to practicing together as an ensemble, their dedication, teamwork, and enthusiasm have been shining through every rehearsal.

Something big is coming to our campus this summer—and we couldn't be more excited to share it with you. This summer, Fraser Woods Montessori School will undertake the largest capital project in our 58-year history: a new Physical Education and Performing Arts Center, four new classrooms, and expanded common areas designed to better support the daily rhythm of school life. This is what happens when a community believes in something together.

Blast off! First grade students designed, built, and launched stomp rockets out on the turf field this week. The students jumped up and stomped with as much force as possible, marveling at how high and fast their creations flew into the sun-filled sky.

Students worked hard on this year's one-of-a-kind classroom projects. From thoughtful designs to hands-on craftsmanship, each project reflects the independence, focus, and imagination of our students. The classroom projects will be featured in the live auction at Springfest 2026 this Saturday at the Catherine Violet Hubbard Animal Sanctuary. Get your tickets at fraserwoods.com/springfest.

After weeks of patiently observing the incubators, primary students were thrilled to begin welcoming newly-hatched chicks into their classrooms this morning! Witnessing the incubation process has allowed students to learn about biology, responsibility, and patience, while developing a deep respect for living things.

Our primary students are in the middle of exploring the 21-day incubation cycle of a chick. Students have been observing, discovering, and questioning each stage of development by keeping a close eye on the incubators in their classrooms. Excitement is building and the chicks are due to hatch a week from today!

Students have been soaking up the beautiful spring weather, enjoying both learning and playtime outdoors! From running on the field to spending time on the playground with friends, these warm days bring extra energy, laughter, and joy to our school community.

Middle school students recently participated in a game of "Capture the Flag" during math class. Students worked through problems and checked their answers following each question. A correct answer earned them the opportunity to steal a flag from another team. Teams worked to balance accuracy and strategy while building their collection of flags. Each flag was assigned a secret point value which was revealed at the end of the game. "Capture the Flag" was fun, competitive, and a great way to reinforce key concepts!
