In addition to the exercises of Practical
Life, Cultural, Math, and Language, as
well as presentation of Sensorial and
Cultural materials, the students are given
lessons weekly in Music, Art, Physical
Education, and Spanish. MES also has
an extensive library, from which the
children check books out weekly.
We are able to offer specials for the classes depending on
the hours of enrollment. Specials are not
guaranteed in any class from year to year,
and the Specials schedule may change due
to staffing availability.
Library
We are very proud of our well-stocked library of over 7,000
books. Each class at MES goes to the
library. Your child’s teacher will inform
you of his or her library day. Each child
will be able to make library selections
once a week. The two books are sent home
in a special library bag. We ask that your
child hang the bag in a special place in
your home each week so as not to get the
books mixed in with your own. Please
send the books back in the same bag each
week. Your child will not be able to
check out new books without returning the
books from the previous week. You may help
your child with this responsibility by
encouraging them to take special care of
the library books, and making sure your
child returns them to his/her library bag.
Because of the library schedule and the
number of children who must attend library
each day, no exceptions can be made if
your child’s books are late. Remember to
emphasize the care and respect for books
with your child. Books that are lost or
destroyed must be replaced, for a fee
which will be determined by the school
librarian. We are thrilled to share
a love of books and reading with your
child.
