Thank you for attending Montessori Parent Education Night entitled “The Psychological Characteristics of the Elementary Age Child”. We hope you use the insights given in our handout “Parent Tool Kit”. If you were unable to attend we will be happy to send you one. Please ask. You are so important to every aspect of your child’s education and moral development.

One of the ideas is to expose your child to good literature. Fictional and non-fictional heroes and heroines are also important mentors for great accomplishments, life dreams and strong characters. (Pedersen, Heather PhD., “One Hundred Child Development Tips”.)

Biographies are a great way to expose your child to these heroes and heroines.

Here we have portions of the Montessori teachers’ presentation to parents on the psychological development. Enjoy!

Parent Volunteers For Our Class Booths this Saturday

As you know, our annual Fall Festival is this Saturday, November 14 from 3-6 PM. During our recent class community meeting our class voted to participate. The students also had a big discussion on which booths to choose. The vote was split 50 - 50 so your children decided to have two booths. One for rock painting and one for bowling with two liter soda bottles. Please consider supporting your child by manning a booth for one hour and or sending the supplies we need to have these booths. The sign up list is on our door. You can also e-mail me or call. Thank you so much!! Yes, there is a lot happening at this wonderful autumn time of year!
