LE1
We would like to thank all the staff, students, and
Moms for a wonderful Tea with Mom!
LE1 recently went on a field trip to Domino’s Pizza,
and the children thoroughly enjoyed creating their
own pizza masterpieces! It was a treat to watch the
process from start to finish, and we were very proud
of the children as they represented the Montessori
school in their typical polite and positive manner.
Our next field trip takes place the third week of
May with a journey to Seaside Nature Park. The class
will participate in a nature walk before heading out
for some horse-back riding.
With Earth Day on April 22nd, LE1 has been reviewing
the importance of stewardship towards our earth.
They also benefited from a dynamic presentation by
EPIC focused on protecting St. Maarten’s wetlands
from pollution.
We would like to wish Adrian a very Happy Birthday
on April 30th!
It is Carnival time again! We hope you have an
enjoyable and relaxing break before returning to
school on May 3rd. Upon their return in May the
children will continue with lessons and review some
of the work covered throughout the year. Our third
years are looking forward to a visit to Upper
Elementary and we are looking forward to hosting
some Primary children to show them all the exciting
material and lessons in Elementary!
We look forward to seeing you all for Fine Arts
Night on May 12th. We’ve been watching the children
practice and are positive you’ll be treated to an
entertaining evening.

In May, we’ll focus on the study of plants,
their root systems and their mportance in our
everyday life.
Our field trip to Domino’s Pizza was a great
success, and the children enjoyed learning how the
pizza is prepared before it arrives at the door.
Thank you to the Frederiks family for their fun and
informative tour.
Birthday wishes are extended to Chadwick for the
month.
Ms. Madalaine & Ms. Jennifer

This is the stretch -- heck, it’s the final
stretch! We’re doing our best to learn oodles and
have the most fun we can until the last day. To this
end, we’ll be completing our final Albanesi tests
(good luck, kids!) and taking some great field
trips. We visited Domino’s Pizza in April, and we’re
planning a snorkeling trip in May. The “good-bye”s
aren’t here yet, so LE3 will be working to a strong
finish!
Happy Birthday to Sarah Jane, Edoardo and Mink!
Mr. Fry & Ms. Wendy

April and May are two busy months for UE 1:
• We've begun gardening with Ras Bushman on Thursday afternoons.
We're working on creating an edible garden for the students, and
we're having a blast. Thank you to Ras Bushman for his help and
Earth Day contributions.
• EPIC came in for a presentation on our island wetlands as part
of our Earth Day celebrations. Thank you to Ms. Elizabeth for
setting up this exciting presentation.
• We had a lovely Tea with Mom. Thank you, moms for spending the
morning with us.
• It is almost time for our end of the school year drama
production. This year's theme is dreams. The performance will be
held at Carl and Sons on Wed., May 26th. The students are
working hard to make it another theatrical success.
• The students are also practicing every chance they get for
this year's Fine Arts Night, which is scheduled for Wed., May
12th. It will be a night of fantastic performances and beautiful
art displays. Don't miss it.
• We are planning to go to the Classical Delights concert on
Friday, May 7th. It is a trip we are all looking forward to.
• We're also hoping to attend a Motion's Dance production later
in May, and maybe even a SCUBA diving trip.
• Our annual Used Book Sale will be held on Mon., May 17th and
Tues., May 18th. Thank you for your donations. The proceeds will
go towards our much-anticipated end of the school year field
trip.
Our Graduation date this year is Thurs., June 3rd. It will be
held at the same lovely venue as last year. Come and join us for
this exciting event.
Happy Birthday to Jazper, Coralie, Brandon and Alec!

Spring has sprung – and with it, our enthusiasm to
proceed to the work of levels 5 & 6! Currently, all students are
striving to consolidate the year’s work in Arithmetic, Geometry
& Language, and many have progressed to the work of the coming
year. Keep it up, everyone!
As a complement to our study of K. Plantae, we’re rebuilding the
school garden under the aegis of green thumb-extraordinaire Ras
Bushman. In addition, we’ve launched a detailed study of K.
Animalia. Each student is researching the vital needs of a
specific animal, with the goal of producing a Power Point
presentation in the coming weeks.
Each week, we’re enjoying an opportunity to “build our team,”
with the assistance of Development Psychologist, drs. A.H.
Halley - van Luijken.
At the same time, our many Michael Jacksons-in-Training are
perfecting their Fine Arts Night routines, and our Upper
Elementary musicians are polishing their performances in advance
of the big night, scheduled for Wed., May 12.
During the week of May 17, we look forward to travelling to
Caribbean International Academy for a familiarization visit with
our Level 5 students. Also ahead: Level 5 Graduation on Thurs.,
June 3, and our Upper Elementary Yearend Field Trip in the week
of June 7.
Happy Birthday in April & May to Aesha, Edwin, Kaie, Malik & Ms.
Ishnelda!
