The week of Feb 18th

Parents,

It was great to talk to so many of you at parent teacher conferences. In the book Montesori A Modern Approach by Paula Polk Lillard she says “Montessori regarded the parent as a partner in the child’s schooling.  This recognition of the parent’s legitimate role in the child’s education can give the parent a new way of viewing himself and the school.  The school is no longer seen as the authority issuing orders to the parent and child alike. Instead, the parent is invited into the classroom. He shares in what is going on there and in the hopes for the future of the child and the class” (p. 145).  Ms. Jess, Ms. Kimber and myself all see the parents in our class as our partners in the child’s education.  We not only appreciate your support but we could not do this work without it.  Thank you!

This week we will talk about the animals of Oceania’s wetlands as well as some of the major landmarks in Oceania.  We will introduce the different parts of an amphibian.  We will continue our study of day and night by taking a look at nocturnal and diurnal animals.  On Friday we will have a special visit from Riverton music to help us learn about the Bass section of the orchestra.

If you are interested in volunteering in our class you can just send me a quick email letting me know when you would like to come in.  We love to have parents come in and help.

Have a great week!

Ms. Jen, Ms. Jess & Ms. Kimber
