Dear Parents,
Welcome back! We hope your holiday break was filled with joy and special moments with family. It has been wonderful welcoming the children back to the classroom and seeing their smiles as they reconnect with friends and teachers.
This week, we will be introducing new work on the shelves designed to engage the children’s minds, support independence, and gently challenge their growing skills. Sorting activities such as the mama and baby birds activity and eye hand coordination works such as putting pegs into foam boards are on the shelves. We’ve added an easel for chalk drawing on one side and painting on the other. The sensory bin currently has kinetic sand, scooping tools, cups for making sand castles, and small animal figurines to find hidden in the sand. The children enjoy feeling the sand in their hands while working at the sensory bin. We have observed longer attention spans and presence, especially while working with the sensory bin materials. It's mesmerizing!
We look forward to seeing families at our curriculum night on Tuesday, January 6. During this time, we will share more in-depth information about our young toddler program and the Montessori philosophy.
Warmly,
Morahs Rachael, Pallavi, Kristy
