Week 4 Highlights โ˜€๏ธ

Jun 15โ€“19, 2026

Week 4 at Sage Field brought new faces and new friendships alongside serious academic momentum. Primary students dove into CVC words, phonics, and early number sense while building the independence that defines our Montessori environment. Elementary students tackled multi-digit multiplication, compared fiction and non-fiction texts with Venn diagrams, cooked strawberry jam from scratch, and capped the week with STEM Adventure Friday โ€” marshmallow towers, baking soda volcanoes, and take-home rockets.
