Ready, set, go for the goal! Nature Song students will develop those larger muscles with coordination and balance, experiencing the joy of team sports through positive reinforcement and developmentally appropriate games. Children will experience a wide range of outdoor activities, which will encourage positive social interaction, communication, and team work. We will focus on basic games like soccer, tennis, and frisbee, with obstacle courses and character building activities as well! Go team!

Kids love hands on science and this week we will explore fun and simple experiments that will lay the basic foundations for Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics. We will gather materials, observe, reflect, ask questions, and experiment. Topics will range from basic principals of Astronomy, Botany, Anatomy, Chemistry, Physics, Art Technique, and Zoology. These lessons are meant to encourage a sense of wonder for the world and a lifetime of discovery! Be prepared for your little ones to amaze you with questions like “We know our legs lift us up, but what pulls us back down?”

Week 4 - Nature Based Art
2026-07-27 00:00 - 2026-07-31 23:59 UTC | Nature Song Montessori, 21246 NW Cannes Dr., Portland, OR, 97229
For our fourth week of the Summer program, children will engage in outdoor sensorial and art activities using natural materials like sticks, rocks, flowers, leaves, fruits, vegetables, etc. We will observe insects, watch the metamorphosis of a caterpillar, as well as many other activities designed to understand the forms of life. We look forward to bringing out the artist in your child as they explore their curiosity and creative side in nature, and you will be amazed at all the wonderful projects created just for you!

Week 5 - Readers Theatre and Talent Show
2026-08-03 00:00 - 2026-08-07 23:59 UTC | Nature Song Montessori, 21246 NW Cannes Dr., Portland, OR, 97229
Bring your favorite book, musical instrument, or special talent to school this week and maybe it will open the door for creative story telling, drama, or acting. Early childhood Montessori students enjoy hearing true stories told by their teacher and older classmates. Story telling can nurture the development of self expression through public speaking, drama, and performance. Students may create their own performance or play based on a true story. We will sing, dance and maybe even surprise you with a performance made up by the students. Here is a glimpse of last year’s project:

Week 6 - Cooking/Tasting The Harvest

Join us as we apply our lessons learned from the garden and discover what it means to bring the harvest to the table this week. Cooking organic treats and practicing our fine motor skills with real tools from the kitchen will engage our students and help develop their knowledge about where our food comes from. We will enjoy cooking deliciously fresh organic snacks that will be sent home daily with our young chefs!

This week is all about giving thanks to our community. We will be practicing our grace and courtesy lessons that we have learned throughout the year. We will prepare baked goods, make beautiful flower arrangements, and create beautiful art to display at our end of the Summer Harvest Festival. Students will create programs to hand out as well as take part in the special jobs that help them feel like they are part of something bigger. All of our current and former Nature Song Montessori friends and family will be invited to feast their eyes and tastebuds on our student’s hard work. We look forward to seeing you there!
