Kindergartners and K-1’s Explore Nahant
On a crisp blue day in early June (Thursday, June 2) the Kindergartners, K-1’s and accompanying teachers embarked on an exploration of Northeastern University’s Marine Science Center at Nahant. After a long bus ride, we eased our way across the narrow strip of land (with some discussion of being on an isthmus!) that leads to Nahant. With a sparkling ocean as backdrop, we took to the tide pools, identifying and naming species as we went. Finds included periwinkles (both rough and smooth), Asian shore crabs, green crabs, sea stars, dog whelks, mussels, acorn barnacles, and even a lobster claw! We compared types of seaweed and noted our finds on scavenger hunt sheets that were provided to all teachers.
Grandparents and Special Friends Day at CMS
6/3/2011
On May 27th, Cambridge Montessori School hosted Grandparent's and Special Friend's Day. We welcomed ninety visitors to the three campuses.
First our visitors spent time in their grandchild/friend's classroom, seeing how and where the students spent their days. CMS teachers and staff were wonderful about making sure the Grandparents and Special Friends felt welcome and were part of the day's activities. This was quite a task when some classes had up to 18 visitors, but the teacher's willingness to be flexible and to accommodate special arrangements made for a smooth celebration.
In the late morning receptions were held in the Rainbow Room at the Primary Building and in the Gymnasium at the Elementary Building. Interim Head, Victoria Londergan welcomed the guests at both receptions. Martha Torrence led a lively discussion and answered many thoughtful questions about Montessori teaching and techniques from a very interested and attentive audience. Jennifer Haines Butler discussed the current state of the Elementary and Middle schools. At the conclusion of the receptions the Grandparents and Special Friends were given a delicious bag lunch, provided by Zigo Cafe, and directed back to the classrooms to eat with the children.
After lunch the Grandparents and Special Friends said goodbye to their hosts, which concluded a wonderful day for both children and adults alike.
