Birthday wishes to: Anthony, Ori and Micah in Primary 1 Surya and Taina in Primary 3 At this time of year we are talking about celebrations around the world. We wish everyone a safe and happy holiday and look forward to seeing you in the New Year! Happy Holidays from the Primary team. PS3 What’s with all the decorations, catchy tunes and festive spirit? What? Christmas is coming?!?! It’s December?!? Well I’m glad we got lots of work done before the holiday season kicks in. Plenty of math and language has been completed by the students with highlights being ‘read-aloud’ SRA groups run by Ms Jennifer; the introduction of division to most of the students, and our afternoon ‘talks’ that often take on a life of their own. Ms Jennifer and I wish all the children and their families safe and happy holidays and look forward to seeing you all again in the New Year. Happy Birthday to Ferdinand, Shaun, Jesse, and…well…..me! Mr. Fry & Ms Jennifer

LE1 We wish everyone a safe and happy Halloween! We trust everyone had a fantastic time at the party and we thank all parents, staff, and students who made it a success. LE 1 sends Kiana, Jordan, Kelly, and Diego very Happy Birthday wishes in October and November. Congratulations, everyone! During the past month, our class enjoyed a fantastic violin presentation. On November 20, we have a representative from Environmental Protection in the Caribbean (EPIC) coming in for a speaking engagement. On Oct. 30, we enjoyed our first outing to Phillipsburg Theatre, to view the 1964 musical classic, Mary Poppins. This will be a good opportunity for our 11 Level 1 students to get accustomed to the expectations for the school trips. We look forward to another exciting outdoor outing soon. Just a reminder that Mon. Nov. 11 is a Professional Day for staff – no school for children. The school is closed for St. Maarten Day on Tues. and Wed. Nov. 12 and 13. See you again on Thurs. Nov. 14. Ms. Elizabeth and Ms. Maureen LE2 October has brought new discoveries, a week-long holiday, and unfortunately, Hurricane Omar. I’m glad that everyone came through the storm safe and sound! The children were eager to share their hurricane-related adventures with Ms. Wendy and me! The class has been practicing several skills, including arithmetic, reading, grammar and, of course, grace and courtesy. The children enjoyed this month's Star Wars Halloween party, and so were treated to a partial viewing of the 1977 film "Star Wars: A New Hope." The class also tried out their culinary skills baking cupcakes. Ms. Kate and former Montessori student Max de Vrieze gave a lovely presentation in which the children learned about the violin and listened to duets. November promises to be a month of further academic discovery and community-building. Birthday wishes go out to: Garway, Oct. 3, Alyna Oct. 12, and Kaylie, Oct. 14. Ms. Lisa and Ms. Wendy LE 3 Wow, we're already into autumn....though Omar gave a whole new meaning to that! After hitting the ground running the class is still sprinting though lessons and learning all sorts of new things. Highlights include lessons on the solar system and algebra (yes it's a highlight for all three levels) and Level 3 students are even learning how to make a movie! Several more projects (including a field trip to Sea World Explorer) are set to be completed before the Holiday Break, so the students will have fun stories to share over the vacation. We enter November with a Happy Birthday to Ferdinand! Mr. Fry and Ms. Jennifer |

UE1 December is a short month! UE 1 is very busy with all of the traditional, seasonal preparations: The children are putting together another wonderful holiday show. All is original (and straight from the students) -- from scripts to props to special effects. They will be performing Tues., Dec. 9th at 7:00pm -- don't be late! During school hours we will be going to see Motions' rendition of The Nutcracker on Thurs., Dec. 11th as a special holiday treat! On Fri., Dec. 12 we will end the term with a UE 1 community feast. Each child will be contributing one of their favorite party foods. What a wonderful way to end 2008! The students have been asked to continue to read half an hour daily, and record their reading in the back of their agendas. Please make sure to sign the record of their reading homework. Have a lovely Holiday break -- see you in 2009! Ms. Kate and Ms. Ishnelda
