As a reminder, Tuesday October 13 is a professional development day for the CMS staff. Children do not come to school but we are partnering will Reginelli’s on Harrison Avenue for Pizza with a Purpose, all day on the 13th. Why not make a pizza playdate with another family and support the school at the same time?

This will be a 3-part parent education series, 45-minutes each session, each focusing on a different area of the Montessori Upper Elementary curriculum: Language, Math, and Cultural Studies. Parents can expect brief summaries of works with opportunities to receive lessons in each area - experience Montessori the way your child does, as the parent becomes the student! In Language, I'll show how we continue the fundamentals of Lower Elementary as students shift from "learning to read" towards "reading to learn." We'll explore literacy and novel study, parts of speech and sentence diagramming, word study and vocabulary building, and writing.

This will be a relaxed and conversational time to learn more about Montessori philosophy and how we nurture the whole child, socially, emotionally, physically, and intellectually. We’ll also explore the importance of independence and how you can support it at home.

Let Ms. Monique show you how we incorporate math into our Montessori classroom with materials that guide students from concrete materials like the Golden Bead bank game to abstract concepts like adding and subrtracting numbers in the thousands.

Parents can expect brief summaries of works with opportunities to receive lessons in each area - experience Montessori the way your child does, as the parent becomes the student! In Math, I'll demonstrate how students move more swiftly from the concrete Montessori manipulatives towards abstraction. We'll explore numeracy and fact mastery, decimal fractions, fraction equivalency, squaring and cubing. We'll also bridge to exciting connections with geometry.

Let Ms. Monique guide you through our Montessori Cultural curriculum where the ultimate purpose is to help the child move from “I am learning about the world” to “I understand my place in the world, and I have something meaningful to contribute.”

Parents can expect brief summaries of works with opportunities to receive lessons in each area - experience Montessori the way your child does, as the parent becomes the student! In Cultural Studies, I'll emphasize how language and math are fundamentally woven throughout each core area, and how our three-year cycle offers children hands-on, authentic experiences of history, geography, the arts, and sciences (biology, physics, and chemistry).
