For the month of May, the children will be exploring the world of dinosaurs and how scientists believe these creatures roamed the Earth. We’re in the process of planning a field trip to augment these studies. More details will be sent home closer to the time of this trip. Thank you for attending our annual Tea with Mom. The children enjoyed making your gifts and having tea on this special occasion. Birthday wishes for April & May go out to: PS1: Amery, Malik, Michelle and Eason PS2: Marc, Mercedes and Toine The Primary Team

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. Ms. Elizabeth & Ms. Maureen LE2 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 LE3 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 |

UE1 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.

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! Ms. Kate & Ms. Ishnelda UE2 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! Ms. Marianne & Ms. Ishnelda
