Dear Elementary Families,


Welcome to the new school year at TRIS! It is a pleasure to embark on another year of exploration, growth, and discovery with you and your children.

 

In our Montessori Elementary environment, we continue to build on the foundation laid in earlier years, nurturing your child's natural curiosity and love for learning. Students will have opportunities for hands-on learning, collaborative projects, and independent exploration. Our approach remains deeply rooted in Dr. Maria Montessori's philosophy, focusing on each child's holistic development. We cultivate academic excellence, support our students' social and emotional development, and aim to create a community where children feel respected, valued, and empowered to take ownership of their learning journey.


Education is a vital partnership between the school and the home. We deeply appreciate your support and involvement. Throughout this year, we encourage you to stay informed and connected with us through our newsletters, community meetings, classroom updates, the school's website, conferences, and events. Please don't hesitate to contact the teaching teams with questions, concerns, or help. Together, we will support our students and create a nurturing environment that fosters every child's growth and development.


We look forward to welcoming you in person at our Welcome Event for Parents. It is an excellent opportunity to meet other parents and teachers and visit your child's classroom. We also host an Elementary Back-to-School Night to share details about the curriculum, classroom routines, school and classroom events, and more and answer any questions.


We eagerly anticipate the return of our students to the classroom and are excited about the many beautiful moments ahead. We are confident that this year will be filled with learning, laughter, and growth for all our students.


Thank you for entrusting us with your child's education. Your trust is a great honor, and we are excited to be part of their journey. We look forward to all the amazing things they will accomplish this year.


Warm regards,


Wellington Pontes

Elementary Program Director

Montessori Model United Nations - Notes from Rome..

Montessori Model United Nations - Notes from Rome..

23 Jul, 2024
Montessori Model United Nations (https://montessori-mun.org/) is an organization that gives students the opportunity to share their solutions for real-world problems. One of the main differences between this and a regular Model United Nations setting is that rather than being a debate or having a winner, the conference is collaborative. Schools from all around the world went to the Rome MMUN conference and shared ideas based on their research. Each pair of students, called delegates in the conference, study a country and focus on a committee. Our class was part of two different committees that studied Sudan. Norah and Joya were part of the Food and Agriculture Organisation(FAO), and Elise and Emilio cooperated in the Economic and Financial Affairs Council (ECOFIN). Throughout the school year we worked with our teacher, Paul, to research these topics and created a position paper and a one-minute speech. With thorough research on Sudan and our committee topics, we were able to contribute in Rome. At the Rome conference, we made friends and connections with fellow delegates from all around the world; some came from Morocco, Peru, Azerbaijan, and the Philippines. Our favorite part of the conference was being able to meet students in a new setting and then being able to work with them on solving problems that would help other people around the world. Despite the language barriers and different backgrounds, we still were able to collaborate and have fun. There were morning activities, celebration nights, and fun and interactive working sessions. We all shared our views during the working sessions but also made sure to include and listen to the opinions of others. After the MMUN conference, we were able to go around the city and sightsee. Famous sites we visited include the Colosseum, the Roman Forum, the St. Callisto Catacombs, St. Peter’s Basilica, the Pantheon, and the Pompeii ruins on our final day. One of the most impressive things we saw were the Vatican museums because not only were they the home to one of the biggest religions in the world, but also because they hold some of the best artworks in the world. The city has sites from thousands of years ago, hundreds of years ago, and five years ago all in one street. Being able to go on a school trip with a school like TRIS taught us values like responsibility, having to create an itinerary for the trip, and independence.
