Yes, we've seen the rain chance in the forecast but this is our last chance to host this annual celebration and we don't want to miss it. If showers seem likely, we have pop-up tents on hand and we plan to utilize our covered walkways as much as possible.
Fry's Family Farm will have a variety of small animals to interact with and hopefully tractor rides in the field. We'll have some music from Marshal and also from students in Upper Elementary, as well as fun sale items from the adolescent class. Hope to see you Friday at 3:15 in the CMS Courtyard!
UNDERSTANDING HUMAN DEVELOPMENT
Students in Upper Elementary have had a fun and interesting week studying human development. As part of this work, they've spent time with children in our Casita level and seen first hand how language develops (among other things). It's been so cool to see them truly "studying" the toddlers and also to see the love and joy they share during the hands-on interactive parts of their week. The toddlers have also really enjoyed spending time with these new friends!
CONSOLIDATION
Dr. Montessori included among the many aspects of her educational approach a technique known as the 3-Period Lesson. In short, its how most of us learn most things! 1st - we are introduced to the skill or subject, 2nd - we have interactions with said skill or subject (repetition). The 3rd and final period is consolidation or achieving an understanding or skill. It is a time when things comes together and confidence soars.
Consolidation is something we see all across campus at this time of year, as students arrive at some of the places they have been heading towards all year. It's an exciting and amazing time of year!
