Primary 5

September 2026

we kicked off the 2026–2027 school year with lots of exciting learning and opportunities to reconnect with our classroom community! The children explored themes such as All About Me, The Kissing Hand, self-regulation, and self-help skills. We also began our study of the continents through songs, hands-on activities, and classroom sharing experiences.

Throughout the month, the children explored their five senses using a variety of Montessori sensorial materials. In language, we practiced identifying letters and their corresponding sounds, while in math, we strengthened number recognition and counting skills by practicing numbers 1–100.

Some special highlights included Back-to-School Night, where families had the opportunity to learn more about classroom routines, expectations, and goals for the school year. The children also enjoyed exploring our Book Fair and observing our butterfly habitat, where they experienced the excitement of watching caterpillars transform into beautiful butterflies!

Summer 2026

This summer was filled with opportunities for our children to learn, create, explore, and simply enjoy being together. Each new week brought a different experience that encouraged curiosity and allowed the children to discover something new in an engaging and age-appropriate way.

Our weekly themes took the children on many different adventures. They learned about dinosaurs, life on a farm, pirates, and life at the beach, while also exploring American traditions, outer space, ocean animals, camping, the Olympics, and Spirit Week. These themes gave the children opportunities to participate in art projects, sensory experiences, practical activities, imaginative play, and hands-on classroom exploration.



There was also plenty of time for outdoor fun. Water play, bubbles, water slides, popsicles, and foam activities gave the children a chance to stay active, cool down, and enjoy the summer months with their classmates.

The summer also included visits and presentations from special guests. The children were able to observe reptiles, participate in science-related experiences, meet community helpers, and enjoy entertaining demonstrations. These experiences helped bring learning beyond the classroom and encouraged the children to ask questions and engage with their surroundings.

Most importantly, the summer provided countless opportunities for children to practice everyday skills while growing more comfortable with independence, making choices, expressing themselves, cooperating with others, and trying new things.

We are grateful for all of the teachers and families who contributed to making these experiences possible. From classroom activities to outdoor adventures, the children have created many special memories and continued building skills that will support them as they move into the new school year.

What a wonderful summer of learning, laughter, friendship, and discovery. We look forward to seeing where the next adventure takes us!
