Back to School!

First, I would like to start this blog by saying WELCOME and WELCOME BACK! September was a very busy month with new and old faces returning to school.   The children are now settling into their classrooms and working on fun and exciting activities.  In keeping with the Thanksgiving theme, Miss Julie’s class chose to have a Thanksgiving lunch.  All the children participated in bringing in ingredients and snacks and together they created a delicious Thanksgiving meal –not a trace of any leftovers. 

As you can see from the photos below, everyone enjoyed vegetable soup, apple crisp and apple cider.  The children received a hands-on lesson on what giving thanks is really about.

Integration is an Essential Part of the Manotick Montessori Learning Process

We would like to welcome all of our new families and returning families back to Manotick Montessori. We are delighted to announce that our final integration date was this past Monday, September 20th. The children are settling in incredibly well at a very early stage, due to the importance of integration.

We believe that all children need to feel secure and comfortable the minute they enter their new classroom and environment. Our process is to slowly integrate 2 to 3 children a day so that each child gets this opportunity to be properly incorporated into the classroom.

This way, the teachers and other children in the room have the time they need to introduce themselves and welcome their new classmates. This non-invasive relaxed experience immediately helps the new child feel comfortable in his/her new environment.

This not only is a peaceful experience for the child but also for the teachers and the parents.
