October News:

The next few months will be filled with lots of fun events to celebrate the seasons and holidays.  During October, we will have a Fall Festival, costume parade and have our photos taken by Lifetouch Photography. Picture Day is a great opportunity to capture a moment in time as well as get your child’s holiday pictures taken. Our Fall Festival will be October 3^rd from 3:30-5:30 and will be filled with fun and games for the whole family. We are looking for several parent volunteers to help run games, assist at the BBQ, face painting and more! We are asking each parent to bring in a pumpkin for our walk! For our Costume Parade, come dressed to impress! Please be sure to bring a change of clothes and be school safe (nothing to obstruct their vision or hinder them from walking). We can’t wait to take lots of pictures!

 

September Recap: 

September was a great month! We celebrated the start to our second school year! A big thank you to everyone who was able to attend our Back to School Night. It was so nice to see you there and be able to share with you, in more detail, the philosophy and approach as well interworking of our classrooms and programs! If your child is in a Primary or Kindergarten class and enrolled for an extended day schedule, they will be attending daily enrichment classes from 3:15-3:45.   Enrichment classes include instruction in music, art, cooking, Spanish and computers! We also have our extracurricular classes for our Pre-Primary and Primary aged students. On Tuesday’s, we offer Tiny Tikes Soccer. Wednesday’s, we offer a Ukulele class (for children ages 4 and older). Thursday’s, we offer Twinkle Toes Dance and Friday’s we offer Amazing Athletes. Please see the office for more information on registration. Be sure to check out your classroom Teacher Page. It is filled with monthly news, our curriculum, events, and pictures!

Summer News:

What a wonderful summer we had at the Montessori School of San Clemente! We kicked off our summer activities with water days and bubble days every other Friday! The infants had fun on their splash mat and the Pre-Primary and Primary classes enjoyed wacky sprayers on their yards. We had an in-house field trip on the 20^th of July. The Best Bubble Party came to our school and preformed some captivating and bubble-tastic moves with her special bubble wands and bubble solution. The children had the choice of stepping inside of a giant bubble, even some of the teacher’s joined in on the fun! We finished out the month of July with our family picnic which had an amazing turn out! Thank you for all the families who came and ate lunch with their children! It was a beautiful day filled with music, yummy food, sunshine, and lots of laughter. We enjoyed seeing our families connecting with one another. We strive to create a close community for our families.

We kicked off August with Pirate Day! Many of our children came to school in pirate wear which was arr-real blast! We had our spirit week on the 20^th which included sports day, crazy sock day, mix up day, crazy hair day, and PJ day! The petting zoo came by on the 21^st for our second in-house field trip of the summer. Many animals came including goats, chickens, and our pony for the pony rides! Our “Fun Fridays” ended on the 17^th with our last water day. We cannot wait for next summer to continue our water and bubble days! We already have some ideas for more in-house field trips for next summer as well. Thank you for a wonderful summer here at the Montessori School of San Clemente.

May Recap: 

As this school year comes to an end, we want to take this time to say thank you to all our families for allowing the Montessori School of San Clemente to be your child’s school where they come to learn and grow each day! On behalf of our faculty and staff, we are grateful and honored to be a part of your child’s development. For those of our students who will be continuing with us for the summer and fall, we have a fun filled and exciting summer curriculum planned for all of our classrooms. For those students who will be graduating and moving on to the new schools, we wish you all the nest and please don’t hesitate to stop by and visit! July and August will be filled with ocean animals, pirates, fitness, and even water play. We will have special in-house field trips as well for hands-on learning. As the weather begins to warm up, please check your child’s cubby to make sure they have extra clothes that are weather appropriate. Please apply their first coat of sunscreen at home. We will apply at 11am and again for PM care. Please check with your child’s teacher to make sure they are supplied with your child’s preferred sunblock.
