Toddler at Montessori Radmoor

It always amazes me what children are capable of doing all by themselves, at such a young age.   In the classroom they take responsibility of the materials by cleaning and organizing them.   They cut vegetables, wash dishes, sharpen pencils, sweep and dress themselves.

Children love to help and feel proud when they get to help with tasks around their home.  When your child has responsibilities at home it fosters personal responsibility, independence and raises their self-esteem.  If children are responsible for certain tasks they will appreciate and care for what happens to the items in your home more.  Being responsible for caring for themselves and areas in the home teaches children important life skills that they will use into adulthood.

Think about what your child could do to help you around the house.  Some things your child can do at home are:

* helping prepare meals           *setting the table

*feeding pets                          *folding laundry

*dressing themselves              *unloading dishwasher

*picking up their toys              *dusting

*making their bed                    *sweeping

We look forward to seeing all of you at our Fall Family Potluck on October 7th from 5:30pm-7:00pm. Please bring a dish to pass and enjoy socializing with the rest of the P2 families. Don’t forget to let your child share their favorite work/activities with you. You can sign up for a dish to pass on iVolunteer.com. If you can any questions you can contact classroom coordinator, Sara Beth Johnson at nonnasnoodles@gmail.com.

Sincerely,

Rachel
