Parents' Comments on Individualized Teaching

Parent #1
At drop-off, the teachers just sat around and spoke Spanish to the children (who spoke Spanish) in their laps. Those children who didn't speak the language were left to run around and play. This bothered us because it appreared to be favoritism and also a preference to their native language since some of them had limited command of English. Since my child is not Spanish-speaking, this bothered us especially.

Montessori? Waldorf? Play-based?

Trace around your child's foot, with shoe on, on a piece of white construction paper or card stock. Have child cut out the shoe print and add a spooky face. Glue it to a popsicle stick and you have a ghost stick puppet!
