Good Afternoon!
We are very pleased with how the last day and a half has gone. The children seem like they are getting adjusted. Currently, we are spending time getting to know each other, going over class rules, cafeteria behavior, and playground rules. This is very important in a classroom. If we did not spend time stressing these things we could have a chaotic year for all of us. Our goal is to set a positive tone in our classroom, where the children are introduced to things slowly. In a Montessori classroom shelves start out empty, and as new work is introduced the shelves begin to fill up. This way the children also know how to respect the Montessori materials by using them properly. There is no magic timeline as to when we will be ready to work off the shelves, or work with the teachers. It always depends on how the children respond and if they have mastered the rules. We have had a great start so far with children becoming acclimated.
Thank you to everyone that has brought in supplies. We still have several children who do not have an extra change of clothing or rest time items. Please send these items in as soon as you can, please. Also we need paper work immediately. We understand if your child has an upcoming physical, however, there is other paper work we will need now.
We do NOT have school this Friday or Monday due to the Labor Day weekend.
Have a great evening!
