Toddler Newsletter
May, 2013
Dear Parents:
It is time to say good-bye to another year in the Toddler classroom!
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you for your generosity and cooperation throughout the school year. It has been great being a part of your child’s first school learning experience!
The children have learned so many things, from living in a community of friends to social interaction and grace and courtesy skills. The Montessori philosophy is such a beautiful thing!
The children who will be attending Children’s House in the fall will be visiting a classroom for short periods of time during the third week in May. Visiting helps the children become familiar with the 3-6 environment and makes transitioning in the fall much easier.
Please use the summer to help your children become even more independent. Allow them to dress and undress themselves. So many of the children can put on their own shoes and socks, and everyone can put on their own jacket using the “magic flip.”
Everything you can do to encourage your child’s independence will help him grow in confidence and self-esteem. These qualities will ensure a smooth transition into your child’s next learning experience.
If the weather allows, we will be outside as much as possible this last month of school. Please put sunscreen on your child before bringing him to school.
We hope to be out on the driveway washing our riding toys and enjoying other outside activities.
We have had a wonderful year! I am happy you chose the Toddler Program for your child. Each and every child will have a special place in my heart. Thank you for sharing your children with us. They are so special!
Have a safe and fun summer!
Sincerely,
Sandy Strantz and Your Toddler Staff
