Puppy Dog News Notes

As you come to observe the Puppy Dog room in these beginning weeks, you will see the seeds of independence. Independence is actively encouraged and is always our aim as this allows for a child’s natural drive to learn. The children are free to choose from the shelves and work in their own style. They may decide to spend a long period of time on one piece of work. Or to return to a work for many days in a row. This allows for deep concentration and analysis. Students are free to choose what to study, how to study, and where to study. If a child chooses something they have never worked with before, they are offered a presentation from another student or a teacher.

“The word education must not be understood in the sense of teaching but of assisting the psychological development of the child.” -Maria Montessori

Photo day will be on September 16th and 17th. If you have time to volunteer, please let the office know.
