Montessori Moment...
Talking Respectfully to Your Children
- by Jane Jacobs
"Learn to Look and Listen - Montessori stresses the importance of carefully observing a child as he goes about his work. This is one of the ways we can show respect for the child, another major premise of the Montessori philosophy. We often jump to conclusions and step in without taking into account what our child might be doing, thinking, or feeling. Put down the phone, turn off the television, watch, and look into your child’s eyes when you speak."
Looking Ahead...
November 10th:
Parent - Teacher Conferences. Sign up link will be sent shortly.
November 17th:
Community Circle:
Find community in our circle of families! Come together with other parents and relatives as we discuss topics concerning raising children of all ages and how to support them in a Montessori way at home to reinforce what they are learning in the classroom.
The next Community Circle event will be hosted off campus prior to the Harvest Feast on Friday, November 17th at Patty's restaurant in Litchfield.
As a reminder, the Harvest Feast is a 1/2 day and marks the beginning of our Thanksgiving Break.
