Some of our 8th grade students spent time this week reading to friends in our #Montessori Children's House. "Reading Buddy" programs like ours benefit both the older & younger students by providing opportunities to become role models & mentors, enhancing confidence, developing social-emotional skills, improving literacy & listening skills, encouraging responsibility, & creating a stronger school community. #readingbuddies
#Kindergarten has been getting into the #SpookySeason & working in groups to create 3-D #Math pumpkins! Each group chose a lucky number, then showed the number in different ways; written out, counted out, or in a tens frame. They also had a chance to create a fun #pumpkin face!
First grade logged onto their Chromebooks for the first time in #Technology class this week! Studies have shown that when students use computers at school it positively influences their academic achievement, makes them more active participants in the classroom, & prepares them for the ever-changing & digitizing workforce.

Who doesn't love a good jigsaw puzzle?! Students enjoy working together on a puzzle when they have a few minutes to spare during Religion class.
Mr. Dolan's 8th grade classes participated in an Ellis Island Immigration simulation today, in which most students were immigrants, as well as an inspector/doctor. Students packed five essential things they would need to bring with them to a new country in a gallon sized bag, but the deal was that the bag had to close! The goal of this lesson was for students to understand the basic steps in the inspection process of immigrants at Ellis Island. #socialstudies #grade8 #history #ellisisland
