The Montessori Magic
August 29, 2019
Welcome to Year 2!
We are excited to be sharing our second year with you. When we opened the doors on August 21st, the students felt at home and were excited to connect with their teachers and friends. Fort those new to Emerson this year, we are hearing awesome reports of students who are enjoying their first days in Montessori. This year promises to be a great year!
Every newsletter begins with a quote that supports the leadership habits we use everyday. Check out our first quote of the year
Why teach leadership skills in Montessori
Every student at Emerson needs important skills to be successful at school and in life. Many of these skills include planning, choosing what work to complete first and goal setting. At Emerson, we are teaching these skills and many more through grace and courtesy and teaching leadership habits. We call these lessons, "habits of success". Don't be surprised if your child talks about learning new habits.
Choices in Montessori
Below is a 3 1/2 minute video describing the structure found in elementary Montessori. This structure can also be seen in the Children's House (prek and kinder rooms). In the video, you will hear the host talking about important life skills which connect to our "habits of success" learning and leadership
