⚽️ Coach Rivera's JV soccer team improved to 2-0 on the season with a solid team effort against St. Mark’s on Sun., earning a 5-3 victory.

Leading the offense were Luca P., Nico C., & Xavier P., who each found the back of the net and helped keep the pressure on throughout the game.

The midfield played a major role on both ends of the field and was led by Elyse R., Caleb G., Cora M., Elliott T., Ron H., & Xavier P. Their hard work resulted in several assists, shots on goal, & strong defensive support throughout the match.

Defensively, SMS was once again anchored by Elise M., Ben W., Elliott T., Maddie C., Cora H., & Ron H. Their aggressive play & teamwork helped hold St. Mark’s scoreless in the first half & consistently shut down attacking opportunities by swarming to the ball and supporting one another.

Nico C. & Luca P. both turned in solid performances in goal, making key saves when needed & helping preserve the victory.

Overall, it was an outstanding team effort, with SMS displaying tremendous teamwork, determination, & sportsmanship throughout the match.

😊 Grade 6 students played "24" after their math testing was done this week - mental math is the best! The 24 game is a classic, fast-paced mental math card game that challenges players to use basic arithmetic to combine four numbers exactly to equal 24. It accelerates mental calculation speed, strengthens working memory, and develops critical thinking and pattern recognition skills, all while reducing math anxiety through its gamified approach.

🐝 Recently our Pre-K students learned about a different way to use some of our Montessori materials! The Teen or Seguin Board is a classic math material used to teach children the names and quantities of numbers 11 through 19. By sliding number cards over the zero on a printed '10', children learn how tens & units combine. The Teen Board develops place value understanding, helps concrete-to-abstract transition, promotes self-correction, & encourages tactile learning.

🍎 If you're interested in a Montessori Pre-K experience for your child, we still have limited seats available for this Fall! Montessori Pre-K is for children ages 3-6.

"The Erie Canal rubbed Aladdin's lamp. America awoke, catching for the first time the wondrous vision of its own dimensions and power."
-American author & historian, Francis Kimball

🫏⛴️ This quote poetically describes how the opening of the 360-mile waterway in 1825 served as a catalyst for our country. The canal instantly transformed the United States by connecting the East Coast to the Great Lakes, igniting explosive economic growth.

Our grade 4 & 5 students saw first hand this week how the Erie Canal spurred western settlement on their field trip to the Lockport Locks. Students have been learning about geography, economics & trade, innovation & engineering, & primary sources through their studies of the canal in Social Studies.

See more photos of their field trip here: https://tinyurl.com/msexm8vr

🐾 We're not horsing around... our 1st graders do research! Mrs. Picone's class completed their animal unit in science by doing research poster projects on an animal of their choice. The poster had to include facts about the animal, habitat information, their food classification (carnivore, herbivore, omnivore), animal classification (mammal, reptile, bird, etc.), & describe their appearance.

Once all the poster were presented, students wrote an “essay” about the animal they chose for their poster project. We're ape-solutely impressed!
