Montessori Mornings and Afternoons
Montessori Mornings - Session 1
We currently have French and Mandarin classes beginning the week of September 16th. Learn more and sign up here!
Dance & Movement, through the teaching of Ms. Justine, will focus on self-expression, team-building, and learning how your own body uniquely moves! Students will learn basic fundamentals and concepts of movement, including shapes, rhythm, speed, levels, qualities and more. They will discover their own creative voices through movement exploration and composition in a supportive environment. By the end of the session, students will be more comfortable and in tune with their own bodies and conveying ideas, thoughts, and emotions to others through movement.

New: Music Club!
Calling all 3rd-6th graders! Join the Music Club! The club meets Wednesday afternoons, from 3:50 - 4:45 p.m., starting on September 18th. In this club, students will expand on their mallet percussion, drumming, ukulele, and recorder playing; music reading and understanding; and perform creative and high level music as a group. Each student needs a 1/2 inch, 3 ring binder and a recorder. Music and other instruments will be provided. This after school club is a semester long commitment.
Percussion Ensemble
5th and 6th grade students will once again have the opportunity to participate in our HMM Percussion Ensemble. This group meets during school every Wednesday and Friday afternoons from 2:45 - 3:30 p.m. Students will need a snare drum kit (Mr. Nathan recommends the Pearl SK910C), "The Snare Drummers Tool Box" from Roll Off Productions, a metronome, a music stand (only for at home practice). Students are expected to practice at home, complete practice assignments, participate in both spring and winter concerts, and attend and engage in each class. This is a year long commitment. The expectation is that this is a high level performing group and students must rise to meet the expectations.
