A couple weeks ago, EBM came together for a favorite event of the year: The MMUN Fair and Curriculum Tour. The evening kicked off with practice speeches by all 6th, 7th, and 8th Year students for the Montessori Model United Nations (MMUN) Conference, which took place over Presidents' Week in New York. Even students who will not be traveling for the trip have done all of the preparatory research and speechwriting for the program, and our school elders shone brightly as they spoke about topics from gender equality to the peace process in the Middle East to reforming the veto option in the UN Security Council. Because MMUN has all the very same committees and number of delegates per member country that the actual UN does, the work is taken very seriously and done with thought and passion. The speeches were sophisticated and delivered with grace. Bravo!

All levels were present and engaged for the Curriculum Tour that followed. This year, we focused on the Cultural strand of the Montessori Method, and everything from geography to astronomy to botany to anthropology to chemistry was on display at the various classroom levels.

The Kindergarten Bridge students shared their knowledge of Asia, the Lower Elementary students taught us all about the parts of a fruit and the solar system, the Upper Elementary team shared all about ancient civilizations, and the Middle Schoolers explored atoms. Thank you to all the parents who were able to make it out to celebrate our students!
