(Hello, everyone! I hope you are having a peaceful and healthy Easter Break. I just wanted to take a moment to discuss plans for the rest of the month of home learning.
Lessons have been heavily online-based, with learning games and activities. While I believe these pages have their important place, I will be trying to introduce more hands-on activities that can be accomplished at home, which fully embrace the Montessori philosophy of concrete exploration of materials. While there have been many suggestions of these kinds of activities in our Activity Lists (link found at the end of this newsletter), I will be recording lessons showing how these can be accomplished, and learning can be maximized. Again, these are all simply suggestions; we want our families to have options! We will be exploring nature in honor of Earth Day, paying special attention to the new spring life all around us. Also, of course, recycling and conservation will be important topics of learning. We will also delve more deeply into color-mixing using common materials at home for some hands-on fun! Thank you for all you're doing during these unprecedented times. Please do not hesitate to reach out with questions, concerns, or anything you want to talk about! Communication is important to make the most of home learning!
