May NewsWelcome to the last full month of the school year! This month is full of fun activities, great work on the shelves, plus many extra events to keep us busy. Be sure to check the calendar section for all of the important days. The Monthly Newsletter section details our science focus and our guiding themes for the month. Campus School International PicnicThe Montessori 3-6 program will submit a display featuring Korea. This country is meaningful to our children due to our relationship with the Duksung University students who completed a practicum in our class earlier this year. The kindergarten students are responsible for creating the components of the display based on our previous work studying the continent of Asia. GraduationOur Montessori Kindergarten students will soon complete their 3 year journey. As we send them on their way to the next plane of development, we will gather to celebrate their work and achievements. The entire Montessori community will participate in the ceremony with a special "Celebration of Montessori Life" performed for each graduate. All Montessori families are invited to join us on Thursday, June 6th at 9:30 in the Carlow Cafeteria for this special event. Social time with light refreshments will follow the program. Summer ProgramWe will offer a Montessori Summer Program again this year. The summer allows us the time and freedom to be our best Montessori selves and includes a program of cultural studies, art, practical life -with an emphasis on food preparation and sewing- along with the traditional Montessori curricular materials. Students have the opportunity to continue to progress in Sensorial, Math and Language. We hope you will consider having your child join us for this quality experience. Please contact the Summer Lead Teacher, Miss Stephanie, at sconrad@carlow.edu for details.
