Montessori Radmoor

Hello from Primary 3!

WHAT DID YOU DO TODAY?

It’s a question that parents ask their child at the end of a busy school day.  Sometimes, the answer is silence, or “I don’t know” or “nothing.”  We assure you, your child has been immersed in a busy learning environment, surrounded by their peers, studying language and numbers and letters and doing art.  It’s a multidisciplinary classroom where 28 children could be doing 28 different works, all at the same time.

For those who are coming from the toddler community, the adjustment can be challenging in that the daily activities of children aren’t posted each day outside the classroom doors.

This is where you can strengthen that bond of communication with your child – Ask your child what he or she does each day, who his or her friends are and and which works are favorites.  It helps to improve vocabulary and knowledge of our classroom.  If you have questions, just ask!

DIWALI

We thank Anjana Susarla (mom of Ananya) for coming to celebrate Diwali, the Hindu festival of lights,  with our classroom on Oct. 28.  These festive occasions of culture help us to reflect on how children around the world mark their days.  The children really enjoy having guests in the classroom, and parents are truly special people.

SPECIAL PERSON’S DAY

Special Person’s Day approaches on November 18 – truly a highlight of the school social calendar.  You likely received an email from the school asking for parents to register their child’s special person for this event.  That day is truly special for our students, as from 9:30 to 11:30 that day, the school welcomes the special people in our children’s lives.  They can watch their children work, see the environment and experience a school day.  Plan to have a special person attend with your child on Special Person’s Day.

Sign up today according to the link on the school newsletter.

BRRRR……

And because the weather is growing cooler by the day, please remember that we go outside each day, and those colder temperatures are more bearable to proper coats and hats.  It won’t be long before snow pant season is upon us.

Please help your child prepare by practicing putting on heavier coats and mittens and snow pants.  The more independence you can encourage, the greater success your child can experience on a daily basis.

As always, be sure to take the time to talk with your child about the changes you see in your surroundings.  It helps to build a connection between them and their environment and an appreciation of their world.

Sincerely,

Trish
