This month we have been enjoying the outdoors and the study of nature... At the end of the month we will have Hobby and Collection week.  Please send in your child's collection ... no matter how small, and we will display it for the other children to view.  May 1st  all the children will have fun parading around the Maypole for May day... they will also enjoy having a Raggedy Ann and Andy tea party.  It is a fun way to kick off the month of May!  During the second week in May will be Talent Time Assembly,  we would love for your child to participate. Clapping their hands to music... or rolling a ball are a few suggestions.... !  
The toddlers during Montessori Time are making great progress using the manipulative learning material.  It is fun to watch them develop and reach new milestones .  ]]>Wed, 14 Mar 2012 15:49:43 -0500http://www.tdrmont.net/1/post/2012/03/post-title-click-and-type-to-edit3.htmlWe are all enjoying the spring like weather and we have been out to play every day!  As you can see by your child's mid-year report they have been busy working with all the  manipulative materials during Montessori work time.... we are so proud of their achievements. We are happy to welcome Anthony and London to our class, they are making a smooth transition.  And a special shout out to some of the older toddlers in our class as they transition into the E3 class with Miss Theresa.  They are enjoying their new class.  

Pajama Day and Dr. Suess week was fun in the E1/E2 class.  The children enjoyed hearing all the stories and the special visit from the Cat and The Hat!
Our St. Patrick's Day Assembly on March 16th the children will be presenting the rainbow song!  

We wil soon be scheduling Spring Conferences and I look forward to meeting with you again to discuss your child's progress.  

A special birthday wish to Parker and Emily!

This month we have been teaching the children about Emotions and Feelings and have done many cute activities with them.  You should see all their "happy" and "silly" faces!!!!!!!!

We are thrilled to welcome Connor in our class this month and Miatta and Ryan who joined us in December, 2011.  They have all made a smooth adjustment into our program.

We continue to be amazed at how responsive the young infant and toddlers are to our class curriculum ... i.e..  circle and independent Montessori work time.  All of our children are making great strides in following directions, becoming good communicators and successfully using the manipulative learning materials.

We will participate in the Pajama Day, an annual school event on Wednesday, January 25th.  It is a fun and relaxing day.... so don't forget to bring your child to school in their pajamas.... however be sure to put on their sneakers!!!!

Soon we will begin to work in our mid-year progress reports.  also, a friendly reminder, that all children must wear sneakers to school everyday.... please no boots and even our babies must have footwear.   Also, all their belongings i.e..jackets, hats, mittens...etc. must be labelled.

Thank you!

Miss Sue and Miss Marie
