Session 2 Games & Sports

GLM is a year-round Montessori program that offers themed summer camps. With special summer activities within the Montessori program, we provide continuity for returning students and develop teacher/child/family relationships with new students.

Toddler Fun in the Sun(18 Months - 3 Years)The summer is a great time for new toddlers to adjust to a day away from parents and other caregivers. The fundamentals of being “in school” are learned in a loving, fun environment. Toddlers attend age-appropriate assemblies and events and enjoy their own outdoor activities such as gardening and splashing in wading pools on warm days.

Summer Fun in the Sun(Pre-K thru Kindergarten)Priority placement to returning students and newly enrolled families. Limited placement for non-returning students. In addition to the continuity of the Montessori classroom curriculum, there will be themed sessions in science, sports, creative arts and transportation. Other weekly activities include gardening, music/movement, yoga, art, cooking and water play.

Intro to the Performing Arts - Aug. 3 - Aug. 14(For GLM 5 yr. olds only) Limited enrollment on a first-come, first-served basis. 8am-12:30pm. During Week One the children will have class outdoors/indoors 8am - 12:30pm, then visit their primary class 1pm to 3pm for on-going activities. Week two, parents must drop children at the theater and staff will return them to GLM. They will learn dances and songs from specialists and will perform in groups as Seagulls and Puffins. Arts, crafts, scenery projects, movement classes and costumes are part of this introductory theater program. Full 10-day attendance is required.

Performing Arts Camp - August 3 - August 14(Ages 6-14 yrs.) Limited enrollment on a first-come, first-served basis. In two short weeks, kids learn about theater, memorize roles and dances - and on Friday, August 14, put on an entire children’s opera. Working with theater professionals, this is an extraordinary opportunity for children who are interested in theater. This program is open to the general public. Full 10-day attendance is required.

Don’t miss the Performing Arts Camp meetings for parents on March 11 and March 20, 2015 from 5:00pm to 6:00pm,

Sing Me Homea Children’s Opera by William Bokhout

The story of a deaf Inuit child who, through his own keen observations, learns of life in the arctic. As he grows, he struggles to see his place

and worth in the tribe, due to his own perceived limitations. During a hunting expedition, the boy is lost, assisted by the creatures of the

arctic he is led home by the songs and rhythms of his tribe lifted ceremoniously to the sky in the Northern lights. Sometimes we hear more with our eyes and heart, than with our ears! Sing me Home!
