Winding down the year!

As the school year draws to a close, we are so pleased to have witnessed the growth and maturing of each child. They are more independent, organized, self-responsible, aware of others and content than ever before. We have observed the children making personal discoveries, taking great pride when they master a particular skill, offering help when another child is in trouble and we are pleased to see friendships building in the classroom.

I have immensely enjoyed this year with your children. They have taught me so much and have provided joyous times for Ms. Stacey and I who spend part of the day with them.

THANK YOU!

Ideas for the Home:

Math...............Give children many opportunities for spontaneous counting, sequencing and ordering.

Have your child count dinner utensils as they help set
the table.

Language.............Play "I spy" games. "I spy with my little eye something that begins with the sound "m." You may
have to give extra hints.

Have your child help you write grocery lists.

Practical Life....................

Let your children choose their own clothes (you may give them two choices from which to choose).

"We both went to Montessori School, and I think it was part of that training of not following rules and orders, being self-motivated, questioning what's going on in the world, and doing things a little bit differently, that contributed to our success."
