What’s in the folder?
At the end of each month, we send home the papers
your child has created that month. There might not be very many papers in your
child’s folder because most of the work
your child does in a Montessori classroom is with hands-on materials and
doesn’t produce a paper to send home. For example, most of the math
learning happens through special classroom materials, not worksheets. The
papers in the folder will be mostly artwork, with some handwriting practice for
the older children – they are just a small portion of what your child is
working on and learning at school!
We enjoyed
the beautiful fall weather and got great exercise walking to the fishing pier
and playing in Phoenix Park. We noticed which things we saw were living or
non-living. We also talked about where the dirty water goes when we flush the
toilet and saw the treatment plant that cleans the water. We had a picnic snack
in the park before returning to school. Thank you to Ms. Shannon, Ms. Shauna,
and Mr. Tim for accompanying us!
What’s this object my child brought home from school?!
Sometimes an item from the classroom may find its
way into your child’s pocket or backpack. It might be accidental or an
intentional desire to hang onto something they really like. Either is common in
this age group and not something to be alarmed about. If your child comes home
with something that doesn’t belong to your family, please just explain to your
child that classroom materials need to stay in the classroom and return it. We
will be happy to welcome it back!
