Parents' Comments on Individualized Teaching

Parent #1
The teacher is reamrkable. SHe truly listens to the cildren and confers with them about ways to expand on their ideas. For example, the children pid attention to music that was playing during their lunch: Mozart symphony. They said it sounded like a story of a girl in the woods. The teacher encouraged them to expand on it and when I arrived to pick up my son they were dancing a ballet and had fleshed out the story and drawn illustrations about it.

Montessori? Waldorf? Play-based?

What school type is right for your child? Is one model better than another? What does the research say?

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!
