Parents,
We wanted to make you aware of the plans for the last week of school. On Monday May 18th we will have our Early Childhood bridging ceremony. This is our version of kindergarten graduation.
Many parents wonder why we refer to kindergarten graduation as “bridging”. Bridging ceremonies are a special part of a Montessori experience. It symbolizes a “passing through” and marks a significant period of growth in a child’s life. It is also an exciting beginning to new adventures and discoveries for the child. Our children are not finished with their education, on the contrary they are just beginning. We want to celebrate what they have accomplished as well as what lies ahead. These are just some of the reasons why we refer to this ceremony as a bridging ceremony and not a graduation.
We will be using ZOOM. The morning class’s ceremony will be at 5:00 pm. Here is the AM zoom link

We hope that everyone can attend. As part of the bridging ceremony each kindergarten student receives a certificate. We would like to invite families to a drive through to get their certificate and say good bye on Thursday May 21 from 5:15 to 5:45 in front of the school. To help observe social distancing we are asking all families to stay in their cars.
Next week we will also be having parent teacher conferences. Here is the link to sign up for a virtual conference https://www.wejoinin.com/sheets/nommk
Finally we wanted to do a special show and tell for our students during our zoom meetings. Each student will be assigned a day to show and tell about an object of their choosing. If the day you are assigned does not work for you and another day would work better please email me and we can make a change. To allow time for this the morning class and afternoon class will have separate zoom meetings. We are asking each student to decide on what to show to the class, come up with 3 clues to help their friends guess what they have to show and finally decide on one important thing they want to tell us about their show and tell.
