Community Montessori School
The Montessori Cornerstone
Stephanie Sayre • Sep 05, 2023

We have a great line up for Fall Enrichments this year, with a variety of activities for your student to try out! These after school and optional classes are a great way to discover new hobbies and interests or to dive deeper into existing ones. Classes are open to Children's House and Elementary students. Please note the age requirements for some classes!


Fall offerings include Science with Daniel Benes, Bucketeers drumming group, Amazing Athletes, the Knight School chess group, art, music, and engineering. Click here to read more about the specific classes this fall.


THE MONTESSORI CORNERSTONE


A cornerstone is an essential core element around which everything else takes place. In the Montessori method our cornerstone is respect.  This month, we'll shine a spotlight on this foundational core with conversations, stories, and shared experiences in class.


We show respect in how we treat others - using inside voices, being patient when we have to wait, and helping our friends and classmates when they need it.

Our respect for school and the classroom is evident in the care students take throughout the day as they use materials and help to take care of the environment. 

And of course CMS students are developing self respect every step of the way. Through being a valued member of the community and by seeing the results of their lessons and work each day they come to know they are talented and capable people! 


Mark your calendars and sign up HERE to attend this year's Montessori Journey. Parents and staff will gather on September 16th from 9 to 11 am for a journey through all of our Montessori environments. It's a fun way to learn more about your child's day at school!
