The kindergartners visited Jungle Jim’s International Market this week and had a wonderful time “traveling the globe” as they walked through each aisle and section. They visited the seafood counter, saw vegetables and fruits from many countries, and even had an opportunity to taste a cheesey-fried worm. A parent chaperone was surprised that 4 of the 6 children in her group tried a worm! And in case you were wondering, worms don’t taste like chicken.
A Friday night of games and fun at the Annex pizza party
Each year we look forward to the many opportunities to get together at Community Parties. Whether it’s for the whole family, for children, or adult-only parties, we always enjoy ourselves while raising important funds for the school. On Friday night, the Annex teachers hosted a community party for their students and for those entering the Annex next school year. They had a wonderful time playing games, eating pizza and having fun.

Jeanne Speier is working on a unit with students this year in creative movement. They explore a wide range of movements and learn about working together while still showcasing their own individual style.

Jeanne’s expertise as a dance teacher at The New School Montessori also includes the Katherine Dunham Technique and Classical Balinese Dance.

StoryCorps – like Interviews Conducted by 1st, 2nd and 3rd Graders.
1st, 2nd and 3rd graders chose a family member to interview for a class presentation. They used NPR StoryCorp’s suggested question list and designed a presentation board. Parker shared about the 9-foot-tall snowman her grandmother made, and students supported each other with questions and comments after each presentation. And of course they applauded in appreciation of all that hard work.
