Visit the
From Knowing to Acting website
for this week’s tip to combat climate change, and to get updated on new event information. The student steering committee has confirmed two new guest speakers!

Today we check in with the Lower Elementary, where the reasoning minds of the six- to eight-year-olds are developing, and the children are becoming more social and assertive. They spend a lot of time exploring the “why” of things, and enjoy deepening and broadening their understanding of concepts through group work, listening to stories, and using their imaginations to better grasp the complexity of the universe.
The curriculum introduces students to the five “Great Stories”, which include the origin of the universe, the coming of life on earth, the coming of human beings, the story of oral and written communication, and the story of numbers – all of which are a springboard from which the children begin to explore and appreciate the excitement of learning. Additionally, the children move outside the classroom by “going out” into the larger environment to learn more about topics that interest them.

The journey that all children take at St. Catherine’s is made possible by contributions to the

Every week – leading up to the feast day of St. Catherine of Siena – we are showcasing one Montessori program to illustrate the journey our children take as they progress through St. Catherine’s, from Infant Community to High School. We invite you to reflect on your family’s journey, and ask that you participate in the annual SCM Fund campaign.

Many of these tasks can be completed at home or at the office (such as calling vendors, setting up a SignUpGenius, writing emails, etc.) and do not require coming to campus!

Welcome back to the High School Corner!
During the last few weeks in Literature Seminar, we have been reading an array of books by authors from all over the world, beginning with
Macbeth
by the famous William Shakespeare, then moving on to
Things Fall Apart
by Chinua Achebe, and finally
Jane Eyre
by Charlotte Brontë.
Jane Eyre
has been particularly exciting because it is one of the few books we’ve read this year that’s written by a woman and features a female protagonist. The books we had read before were books about male heroes, so it’s a nice change of pace to have a different perspective.
Born in the United Kingdom in 1816, Charlotte Brontëwas eldest of three sisters. Her mother passed away in 1821, leaving her strict father to take care of the children. In 1835, she became a teacher, and published her most famous work,
Jane Eyre,
in 1847.
Last week we had our first seminar on
Jane Eyre
. Our discussion was exciting due to the multitude of opinions and interpretations of certain parts of the book. We helped each other better understand the book and connect aspects of the text to the real world. We look forward to reading the next section of the book and continuing along the journey of Jane’s life.
Thank you for reading, and we hope to see you back next week!
