THE BENEFITS OF COMMUNITY
The Montessori approach considers the whole child and at CMS we look for student engagement cognitively, physically, and socially. The circles of connection, which start of course at home with the family, extend to individual students, the class group, and throughout the whole school. There's many ways every day that students at CMS benefit from the supportive community we work hard to establish at school.
A basic foundation of respect is required for students to collaborate and cohabitate peacefully with others. Going further, we build empathy and understanding and go further still to incite interest in how and why others do things, think, and come to believe certain things. From the adults, this process takes vast amounts of patience as children observe, experience, and process their community interactions every day.
ELEMENTARY SPRING TRIPS
Last week you heard about the adolescent students who ventured to the Montessori Model UN conference in Rome. Closer to home, our CMS Upper El students enjoyed an adventurous camp-out at Inks Lake while the full cycle Lower El students had an overnight camping trip to Twin Lakes. In considering the benefits of community - these types of trips have such an impact on our students! Embarking on new and often physical challenges is much more comfortable when your supportive community of peers and guides are at hand!
