To our grandparents and special friends who visited us today, a big thank you! Your presence was much appreciated by both the students and myself. To those who travelled a great distance, our special special thanks. We are also impressed by the efforts of Allison's grandparents who stayed up late in the USA to join us for Guess Who and Bananagrams, as well as a tour of the classroom, via video conference!
As promised, the video narrated by Trevor Eissler about the underpinnings of the Montessori philosophy can be found below. When I show this, I do preface it by saying that as a Montessori program operating in a dual-stream school we do compromise on several of the elements shown (we do report on progress, we do complete standardised testing and we do set homework). Enjoy!
