February Blog - Valentine's Day

Hello!
Thanks for all the positive feedback we have received about our new website! Larry did a lot of work on it and we think it represents our school and community of children wonderfully. Our classrooms are humming along and the children are making new discoveries as they work with the montessori materials. Each child gains confidence as they learn to choose works off the shelf, work with these materials in a constructive way, discover the goal of each work and clean up the work by putting it back on the shelf for the next child to be able to choose. If you would like to come and observe a classroom, let me know and we can set up a time for you to watch. The children are learning to work as a community, make new friends and learn.
We will be having our Valentine’s Day parties on February 14. The Toddler classroom will be decorating mailboxes! If your child is in the Toddler classroom, please send 16 signed valentines for the children to exchange. Ms. Sandy and Ms. Becky-Jo will be celebrating and exchanging valentines together. If you signed up to help with the parties, please check with your child’s teacher. They will let you know what to bring. Please leave the envelopes on the valentines blank. We have a special way of letting each child deliver their valentines and it helps greatly if the envelopes are not addressed. If you are in Ms. Linda Rose’s classroom, please send 24 valentines. Also leave the envelopes blank. If your child can write their name then they may sign the card!! We are looking forward to having a fun filled party.
If your child has begun the process of reading by sounding out words, you have seen the little booklets we send home. They are very excited to show their families that they are able to phonetically blend a word. This is a building process and by the kindergarten year the child normally works through our series of reading books. The kindergarten year in a montessori classroom is the most important one, as all the skills they have been building on during the past three years all come together. The child blooms in so many ways and takes a leadership role in the classroom. We have a super group of kindergarteners this year!
If you have a question about your child’s progress or what they are working on, please contact your child’s teacher. We are all happy to talk with you! We have a splendid staff and I am so grateful for the love they have for the children and their untiring hard work!
Fondly,
Linda Rose

Hello Everyone and Welcome to our New Website!
23/01/12 09:26
Hello everyone! I hope you enjoy our new website. Miss Linda Rose will be posting her blog entry this evening and we will no longer send the newsletter through our email. We believe our webpage “Blog” will be much more efficient and will alleviate the issue of constantly changing email address. So, check often and tell others about our new website. Most of all thanks for being a part of the “community of learners at the Children’s House.” Our children are precious and it is a joy to see them active at school, learning, searching, and discovering the world around them. They constantly amaze me with the questions they ask and the things they want to share. Our school is truly blessed and each of us are blessed by being a part of it.
