Telluride Mountain School

The #Montessori students are learning about mammals. Everyone brought in their favorite mammal for Show-and-Tell today! #telluridemountainschool

Math is more fun when it's tangible! First and second-grade students practiced solving long division math problems today. #mathisfun #telluridemountainschool

Lower school students began a favorite writing unit, Painting the Sky! Students create watercolor paintings of different times of day and then write about each piece. A beautiful outlet for the student's creative sides! #telluridemountainschool

In true Telluride Mountain School fashion, upper school students opened Mountain Quail for the year! A great way to start the weekend! #telluridemountainschool #skipe

Ski P.E. dismissal for grades 3-12 will now happen at Carhenge at 4:00 Wednesday-Friday. Additionally, please reference this diagram to ensure you follow the appropriate traffic pattern when picking up your student(s).

If you're working on battling the holiday bulge, building a snow person may not be your best bet, but it's better than nothing! In science class TMS students determined that it takes around 117,000 joules to make a snow person which translates to only about 30 calories. #telluridemountainschool

Lower school creating some holiday cheer in art class #telluridemountainschool #art #snowflake

In a culminating unit in physics, students put a holiday twist on a classic egg drop challenge. Students designed different gift packaging to see if an egg would withstand the impact of a two-story drop. #telluridemountainschool

We are thrilled to have our first all-school Rock & Roll Academy concert in nearly two years! Students in grades 1st through 12th brought enthusiasm and talent to the stage playing everything from Jingle Bells to Tom Petty to Nirvana. Excellent job, TMS students!

Lower School students show off their holiday ornaments made out of felt during art class #telluridemountainschool

Genius Hour presentations were impressive! Students chose an area of interest and then designed prototypes that solved problems or took a more in-depth dive into a subject. Creations were anywhere from a soccer rebound device to lighted slippers to a personal s'more roaster! #telluridemountainschool #geniushour #science

Upper school students work on making body casts out of tape during #art class. Stay tuned for the finished pieces #telluridemountainschool

#purejoy The snow dances are working! We finally have some snow, and these faces say it all! #telluridemountainschool

Be sure to check out the Young People's Theater production of "Bye, Bye, Birdie" this weekend at the Sheridan!
