Grandparent's Day Take 2

We had our second day of grandparent's visiting day today.  Couple of our kiddos had grandparents yesterday and today which was great!  We definitely see another side of the kids when they are interacting with their grandmas and grandpas-we love watching them!  Some of the great works that were being used today were:  Easel, flower sponge painting, Knobless cylinders extensions, addition with stones, continent coloring, calendar writing, and many more.  Typically, in Montessori classrooms, there is a big emphasis on relationships and social skills.  We understand and respect that children are learning to 'relate' to others.  The ages of 3-6 is a precious time of opportunity for caring parents, adults, and teachers to help and guide children in their relationships.  We want to honor the relationships that children are involved in.  One way we can do that is by inviting their parents and grandparents into the classroom and allowing that time to share their school experience with their loved ones.  Thank you again for all who came to visit Community Montessori yesterday and today.  We hope you enjoyed your visit!
