UPCOMING EVENTS

Parent Education Events 2007-2008

Ever wonder about the materials on the shelves in a Montessori classroom?
Or how, without punishment, do you solve or stop inappropriate behavior?
Or why are all those young children motivated to learn if we don’t choose everything for them? Or, perhaps the biggest question: can children succeed later in life without hours of homework?

We believe communication and cooperation between school and homes are vital for the optimum holistic development of each child. To provide answers to some common questions, we are hosting a number of Parent Education events throughout the school year. We hope that you are able to attend them all! In an effort to help you pencil us in your schedule, here is our calendar of Parent Education Events for the coming school year.

Lunch and Learn
Noon - 1:00 p.m.
Order a sack lunch ($5- prepared by our lower elementary students!) to eat at these mid-day gatherings where we will discuss topics including:

Problem Solving and Peacemaking
Friday, February 15
How to respectfully resolve issues without threats or bribes.

Transition and Assessment
Friday, April 18
We will cover rationale and explanations as to how we assess students in addition to teacher observations and record keeping.

Summer Suggestions
Friday, May 16
School is out but learning never stops! This session will provide pointers on managing the summer with children, without excessive TV, and with conscious decision making for providing key experiences for your family.

We are extremely excited about spending time with you and answering any questions you may have! We look forward to seeing each of you at these events!!
