Upper Elementary Great Work Fair
Molly DiPiero • December 3, 2024
Friday, November 22nd, 10-11:15am in the Community Room, Main Campus
You are invited to come see the "Great Work" of our Upper Elementary students. In the Montessori Elementary environment, students are encouraged to dive deeply into subjects they are passionate about and get creative to show their learning. Come and learn more from these students about the projects they have been working on.
Journey and Discovery Friday and Saturday , March 14th -15th Experience the educational journey through the eyes of a Santa Cruz Montessori student. Participants will find answers to their questions about the Montessori program through their own experience. You will come away with a deeper understanding of Montessori education and its focus on meeting the developmental needs of the child. The ‘Journey’ portion happens on Friday and begins with a silent walk through the classrooms where you will have an opportunity to look at the materials and appreciate the beauty of the classroom. Afterward, you will come together as a group to share your observations. On Saturday, you have the opportunity to ‘Discover’ by interacting with the Montessori materials. Learn how the child constructs meaning and how each level is the springboard for the next. Please RSVP in the school newsletter.
Grandparents and Special Friends Day Friday, March 14th We're excited for our annual Grandparents and Special Friends Day! Any special guest is invited to stop by between 9:30 and 11:00am to visit the students in their classes. Check in at the Community Room for coffee and snacks and then head down to the class where students can share their classroom and work. Note: Because it would be too disruptive for our Young Children's Community, the YCC does not participate in this event.
