February 2017

Hope, Love and Dream Classes


February was a fun, but busy month here at SEM.  The theme of this month was the End of Year Program.  All of the teachers and students practiced their speeches and dance moves for the special night.... which came around very quick!

In between practicing speeches and dance moves, the students also continued working on their handwriting skills, and learning new Montessori jobs.

We also celebrated a very special day on February 14th, that's right it was Valentines Day.  We celebrated by making valentines cards together.

 

The big day we had been preparing for was finally here.  We all arrived at SEM nice and early on Saturday February 25th  to get our costumes ready, and have our photos taken.

 

 

 

 

Everyone was really excited to get dressed in their costumes, and put on a big show for their parents and grandparents.

The evening was filled with lots of clapping and cheering.  Both the parents and students really enjoyed themselves.

Thank you to all of the students who worked really hard, and put on a fantastic show, and to all of the parents for their support.

Hope, Love, and Dream Classes

 

Happy New Year and welcome to 2017 at SEM.

 

After the long, relaxing Christmas vacation we were all really excited to come back, and start the New Year focusing on our Year End Program.

 

At the start of this month the students in Hope and Love class were each given different roles, and worked hard learning their words and dance moves for Musical English's performance of Snow White.

 

The students from Hope and Love class also chose "I will Survive" as their hip-hop dance that they will perform on the night.  Working with all of the students, and helping them to learn the words to the song, along with the dance moves was so much fun.

 

 

 

 

At the same time Dream class learned the words and dance moves to their "Cookie Crumble" dance, that they will also be performing at the Graduation Cremony.

 

 

 

When Hope, Love, and Dream class weren't rehearsing for their hip-hop dance, and the Snow White play, they studied their lines for their speeches.  I must admit... watching each of the students take their position on the stage, and listening to them practicing their lines brought tears to my eyes... not only because some are funny.... but because they sound amazing, too! Everyone has worked really hard!

 

 

 

 

Dream class worked on their phonics, while Hope and Love class worked on their Math and Workbook to improve their vocabulary and sentence structure.  We also got to do some fun art, too!

 

 

 

 

 

 

After all the hard work, Love class took a short break and played ball outside with Mr. Adrian.

 

 

 

During this busy month we also celebrated three birthdays. The first was Mr. Adrian's on January 12th.  Hilda's 5th birthday was on January 19th, and finally, Amber's 7th birthday was on January 26th.

 

Happy birthday Mr. Adrian.

 

 

Happy birthday Hilda.

 

 

 

 

 

Happy birthday Amber.

 

 

 

 

Hope Class decided to celebrate the New Year in style with juice and cookies, but... a celebration wouldn't be a celebration without everyone learning their speeches at the same time.  Cheers Hope class!
