Our third and fourth-grade students are diving into Spanish through fun, hands-on activities. Fourth graders practiced pronunciation and grammar using three-part cards featuring different kinds of food, while third graders explored the grammar of places. To top it all off, students put their vocabulary to the test with a lively round of Spanish Bananagrams!

Several of our educators attended and presented at the American Montessori Society's regional symposium this past weekend in Brooklyn. Our former Head of School, Michelle Morrison, was one of the spotlight sessions!

This past fall, toddlers in the Cardinal Room explored a pumpkin seed activity that involved scooping, transferring, and practicing their budding gardening skills. Fast forward to spring, and a surprise awaited them after break… a pumpkin plant had started growing! 🌱✨

Now, these little gardeners eagerly check on its progress each day, watching the flowers bloom. Will there be a pumpkin in the Cardinal Room by October? Stay tuned to find out! 🎃👀

Our Lower Elementary second-graders recently wrapped up their Leadership projects! In this weekly class, students develop essential leadership skills by presenting in front of the class. Each student chose a topic of interest, researched key facts, selected supporting images, and created an engaging lesson - complete with a visual board and follow-up activity! Through this process, they gained confidence in public speaking, clear communication, and the art of teaching.

Tapping into nature 🍁🌳! PMonts parent, Jonathan, visited the Primary program to show students how to tap a maple tree for sap. The children learned about tree parts, the role of sap, and the syrup-making process before heading outside to see it in action! They're now collecting and monitoring the sap daily. When it's ready, they'll boil it down into maple syrup. Such a sweet lesson to remember!

Elementary students are bringing Spanish to life through interactive games, creative book-making, and hands-on vocabulary practice! From playful learning to meaningful connections, they’re building confidence in a new language - one fun activity at a time 🇪🇸 📚

On Friday, our Primary through Middle School students were treated to an out-of-this-world surprise...a visit from the SkyDome Planetarium from Mobile Ed Productions! Mrs. O’Brian made the big announcement before students stepped into an inflatable planetarium for an unforgettable journey through the universe. They explored the stars of the Northern Hemisphere, toured the solar system, and experienced the magic of space - right here at school.

A huge thank you to Mrs. O'Brian for this exciting surprise!

Primary families had a blast at this morning's Singalong!
