Science Lesson
I hope this finds everyone healthy. School administrators have been in contact with employees all weekend to keep us updated on the situation. We will continue to keep you posted as things change.
Stephanie and I have prepared 3 weeks of lessons. You will be receiving the lessons on the blog or in individual emails. Please try to do as much as you can, but don’t feel overwhelmed, or overwhelm your child. Montessori philosophy is to go out the child’s pace. Let them lead the way! Take breaks, provide healthy snacks, and let them get outdoors. Some of our lessons will include projects or paperwork. There is no need to turn the papers in, once this is over. The only thing you should turn in are your reading passports.
I thought it would be appropriate for my first science lesson to be addressing the coronavirus. Some of our litttles may not understand why we will be out of school for such a long period of time. It is best to stay calm and provide honest and simple explanations to them. I have provided links that will assist you and enlighten them to the situation.
