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.

March Recap:

What an exciting month March was. The children loved learning about dinosaurs, Spring and Africa! It was fun to visit each of the classrooms and see what they were learning. I loved seeing the primary students try and see just how big the dinosaurs were by having the children lay down side-by-side and our teachers trace around them! The children were amazed at just HOW BIG those animals really were. The children also enjoyed making African art by paining savannah pictures and designing African masks.

 

We celebrated St. Patrick’s Day and wore green! The children learned about Leprechauns and Irish traditions and culture. At the end of the month, we had our first spring egg hunt. What a blast! The children could barely contain their excitement as they ran across the playground hunting for hidden eggs. The Walkers class was especially intrigued. With each egg they found, they would stop, open it, and explore its contents. It was so cute to watch them explore and discover.

April Recap:

April was an exciting month here at the Montessori School of San Clemente! Our picture days were a big success! Thank you to Laugh Out Loud who came in and took such amazing pictures. Thank you to the parents who purchased pictures of their little movie stars. Our children explored characteristics of planet Earth! Each classroom discussed the importance of recycling and learned how trash can be turned into something new!

February Recap: 

Our February Info Night was a success! We had many prospecting parents come by to meet the teacher’s and learn more about our Montessori curriculum. February was filled with learning about different cultures and family traditions. Valentine’s Day was a fun celebration of our friendships. We even made some treats to take home! Children spent time learning about the continent of Asia and the Winter Olympics. Lunar New Year was celebrated in the classrooms. They learned it is the Year of The Dog from the Lunar Calendar and what makes this celebration special to so many people around the world. The Sandbox was completed, and the children have had fun digging and playing in the new space. Thank you to all the parents and families that contributed to our fundraiser to make it possible!
