Summer Field Trips 2011

We had our first field trip of the summer to Lakeridge Retirement Community. The children performed a fun concert for all of the retirees. We hope they had just as much fun watching it, as we did performing it!

Our second field trip was to Ramar Communications and the KMAC and KLBK news stations! The children learned a lot about the way we get our news delivered to us. They even got to be on TV!

Our third field trip was to Krispy Kreme donuts where the children learned how donuts are made! They got to take a tour of the donut production, and afterwards they got to eat the tasty treats they just learned about!

Our fourth field trip was to the Lubbock International Airport. There they learned all about airplanes and the process of getting them in the air! The children got a backstage tour of the airport and got up close and personal with an American Eagle airplane!

The children had so much fun at the Texas Tech Museum! The day began at the planitarium where the children watched a film about a cat that lives on the moon. After the film, we went into the museum to explore! We saw dinosaur bones, art exhibits, and sculptures among many other interesting things. The field trip proved to be a great educational experience as well as a fun one!



Tas Montessori School Graduation Program 2011

Our end of the year party was so much fun! We were so happy that all our parents could attend to mingle and get to know one another a little better! Additionally, the parents and family got to watch as the children put on one of the best shows we've ever had!

Throughout the months of April and May, the children committed themselves to practicing and working on a program so that they could show off all they learned throughout the year. All the children put on a concert singing various songs they've been singing during circle time to help them learn special terms and concepts.

Afterwards, some of the younger children performed a fun dance to take us into Summer! They danced to "Walking on Sunshine"

Along with some of the older children, the children who were graduating to the First Grade performed a ballroom dance that was designed to illustrate the merging of the British and Indian cultures in the 18th century. They performed a dance to the song "Salaam Aya" from the Indian movie Veer. The song illustrated the merging of the two cultures by showing the Indian monarchy and the British aristocracy ballroom dancing to a Hindi song. The children worked hard perfecting the complicated choreography and the result was an amazing performance that surpassed all of our expectations!

The graduating students got a chance to accept their diplomas from Ms. Tas in a small graduation ceremony. Each of the students who graduated have been a wonderful part of this school. They are all so smart and we are certain that they will be successful in anything they choose to do in life. We at Tas Montessori school wish them all the best of luck!
