			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Upper Elementary students are coordinating a team for Ride for the Arts. The bike ride is a major annual fundraiser for the United Performing Arts Fund (UPAF) and supports 36 groups in the Milwaukee area including First Stage Children’s Theater, the Milwaukee Ballet and the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra.  One great aspect of this event is that everyone selects their own distance (5, 12, 25, 50, or 75 miles).  It is for adults and children of all ages, even including those with training wheels and bike trailers.  All the routes begin and end at the Summerfest grounds where there is a family oriented finish line party.  All participants receive a Ride for the Arts t-shirt with the school logo on the back.</p>
<p>If you are interested in participating, you may go to <a href="http://events.upaf.org/ride/teams/msow">http://events.upaf.org/ride/teams/msow</a> and then select ‘Join our team.’  Our password is fitness.  You may also use the same website to get further information about the ride.</p>
<p>If you wish to make a tax deductible donation to support the arts, you may contact UPAF directly at 414-276-RIDE or donate at our fundraising page at <a href="http://events.upaf.org/ride/Rider/bednarek">http://events.upaf.org/ride/Rider/bednarek</a>.  Our goal is to see how close to $1500 we can raise, and any help would be greatly appreciated.</p>
<p>If you wish to be part of our team, you will need to register online by Wednesday, May 1<sup>st </sup>so that there is plenty of time to print the t-shirts and prepare the ride packs.  Mr. Bednarek and his students will be responsible for picking up and distributing all MSW ride materials, which will happen at the end of May.  We hope to see you on June 2!</p>

<p><strong>Pre-Children&#8217;s House: (Ages 20-36 months)</strong><br />
Your child will enjoy a variety of challenging, rewarding activities such as painting hats, making window clings and planting seeds.  This classroom introduces developmentally-appropriate Montessori materials to your child in preparation for the Children&#8217;s House classroom, emphasizing the importance of independence and self-discipline. Practical development activities include hand washing, pouring, self-dressing and more.  Potty training is not required to enroll in this program.

<p>Consistent with the Montessori philosophy, classrooms are prepared for the various levels of development, according to the needs of each individual child. Prior Montessori experience is not required. To participate in any scheduled field trip, children must attend at least three days of that week; the field trip day can be the third day.

Tuesdays are reserved for <a title="ZumbAtomic Video" href="http://youtu.be/KC8CGdn0DXU" target="_blank">Zumbatomic</a>, the groovy, high-octane health and dance fitness program designed for kids.   Afternoon activities are specifically constructed to accommodate and enhance your child&#8217;s unique interests and abilities.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Education for their children is one of the most important decisions that parents make and touring schools of varying educational philosophies can help families make an informed decision. Experience the Montessori school community and learn about this successful century-old approach to education which combines hands-on learning, multi-age classes and individualized instruction. Take a tour of the school and see the carefully prepared classroom environment to understand how this method cultivates the child&#8217;s natural desire to learn.</p>
<p>Montessori School of Waukesha has built a solid reputation of excellence in preschool, elementary and adolescent education for almost 50 years. While the Montessori education encompasses the whole child, Montessori School of Waukesha’s academic excellence is evidenced by standardized test scores.  Montessori students in grades 4-6 scored at least two to three years above chronological age, often at high school level. Included in the curriculum are: Music, Spanish, Art, Physical Education and Computer Instruction.</p>
<p>The school is a community partner with the School District of Waukesha and Kettle Moraine’s 4K programs. Utilizing the Early Childhood Environment Rating Scale (ECERS), on which all community partners are evaluated, Montessori School of Waukesha attained a rating of 100% in:</p>
<p>• Math, number, nature &amp; science activities</p>
<p>• Language-reasoning</p>
<p>• Art, music &amp; movement</p>
<p>• Safety practices</p>
<p>• Promoting diversity</p>
<p>Montessori School of Waukesha has helped children ages 20 months to 8th grade develop into joyful, accomplished and inquisitive individuals for almost 50 years.</p>
