Posted: Mar 3rd, 2010March is here and we are looking forward to spring.
We are welcoming our new families at our school. We will continue to study the continent of South America. We have already introduced the children to the layers of the Amazon Rain Forest as well as some of the animals that live in each layer. You will notice that the children are bringing home coloring pages of various animals that live in the Amazon Rainforest. Please encourage them to share with you what they have learnt. We have also talked about the people who share the Amazon with the animals and read books as well; the children were very interested in their ways of life.
Please remember that Spring break will be from March 8th to March 17th 2010. School reopens on Thursday March 18th for Parent – Teacher conferences.
Children return to school on March 22rd 2010 after the conference days.
During the parent conferences there will be no school for the children.
Thank you for re-registering your children with Calypso Montessori School. The morning class and extended day class is full. There are several spaces available for the afternoon class.
A reminder to all families to please not send the children to school with any toys as it is harder for them to leave these at the door than to leave them at home.
Enjoy the break!

March is here and we are looking forward to spring. We are now well into our Africa Study unit. We have learned about Africa as a continent, the Oceans and seas that surround it as well as the climate, seasons and some of the countries. Our main Topics for this and next month are going to be the Sahara, the Kalahari and the Namib dessert with their different climate and vegetation. We are also learning about pachyderms such as the African Elephant, the Hippopotamus and the Rhinoceros.
If you happen to have some small plastic fruit baskets (sometimes you will get them when you buy strawberries, blueberries etc.) please bring them in to our school. We will use them for weaving.
Towards the end of the month we are going to devote some time to learn about the Solar system which will carry on for about 4 weeks as a little side topic.
