Troy-Curriculum Night Phase 2

As we start our brand New Year, 2016, we would like to reach out to you as your child will be entering his/her final year. In our Montessori environment the third year and final year is equivalent to kindergarten. In other words, if your child is five years old by September 1^st, 2016 he/she will be a kindergartener. With that being said, we would like to invite you to our Curriculum Phase 2 Night on February 8^th. Each teacher will meet you in their respective classrooms. It will start at 5:00PM and end at 6:00PM. We want to emphasize that the kindergarten year is very crucial and vital for your child. Completing the learning cycle in our Montessori environment, will build your child’s learning experience in a concrete and long lasting way. However, if your child’s birthday does not meet the Michigan State cutoff date, please feel free to see me. I will be happy to discuss ongoing educational options with you.

Topics that will be covered:

• Final year in pre-primary classroom
• Daily schedule
• Social development
• Enriched curriculum
• Complex materials
• Individualized Advanced lessons
• State benchmarks versus Montessori
• Monthly projects
• RAZ for Kids A-Z
• Technology
• Physical Education
• Fostering curiosity, independence, life-long love of learning
• Question & Answer session
