THANKS FOR A WONDERFUL YEAR!
We are wrapping up the school year this week with a flurry of activity, community, and fun! From the Nova trip to elementary field day to moving up gatherings in Children's House, students at CMS have been making the most of our last month of school.
Can you believe Thursday is our last day? It's been a great year and we are so grateful for getting to spend this time with the amazing students we have in our school community.
MOVING UP
It's an exciting time in May when we celebrate student accomplishments and recognize the growth we've seen over the course of the year. The CMS Yearbook is a great visual documentation of that.
I've been reminded the past few weeks, of the myriad ways that kids change and develop. Part of our year end celebration is sharing with children the joy and pride of seeing just how far they've come this year and wondering where they'll go next!
Students in their final year of the Children's House are not only "moving up" to 1st grade they are also moving up to the 2nd plane of development. To commemorate this milestone, students worked in class for several weeks creating their own personal timeline to illustrate their growth. Children presented their timelines to peers in class last week. Congrats and good job to our Children's House full cycles!
We also have a cohort of students completing their elementary years & "moving up" to the adolescent classroom (and the 3rd plane of development). These students have been working on term papers which they presented in class last week. The variety of interests represented in these projects was amazing! Congratulations on a job well done to our rising 7th graders. We look forward to your continued development in Nova next year.
NOVA ADOLESCENT CLASS TRIP & GRADUATION
Students in the Nova Adolescent classroom celebrated the end of a successful school year with a class trip last week. Students enjoyed cooking for one another as well some interesting and fun sights in the Dallas area.
8th grade is the end of our programs at CMS so students in Nova who are wrapping up their 8th grade year are graduating from Community Montessori School! We are super proud of these students and honored to be part of their growth this year. Graduates will be heading to a variety of area high schools, including Gateway, Headwaters, the Griffin School, Cedar Park and Westwood.
FIELD DAY FUN
Today CMS elementary students enjoyed a special Field Day with the YMCA. They spent the morning outside taking part in a variety of activities that were loads of fun and also challenged their physical abilities and team work. Ask your student about the dragon tail game or rock, paper, scissors with hula hoops! The YMCA brought out some special equipment like pedal cars and disc golf targets. It was a really fun morning!
